Adding citations to images


Since starting my family research I've investigated a variety of methods of adding citations to images that I save or have clipped from online sources. A suitable tool must be easy to use and allow me to add citation information that will stay with the image without actually writing over it.
It must also encompass a complete process so that the image is ready to be added to my database without further alteration.

Whilst Awesome Screenshot and Skitch are both great tools, I find Jing, the free program from Tech Smith more suitable for my needs in this instance. Here is a quick screencast of how I use it to save and annotate newspaper cuttings from Trove.
