Diggy-
I don't know how to do it, but an image file can contain some data in
its "EXIF" fields (EXchangeable Image File Format).
I believe there are existing programs that can edit the EXIF
information. Finding a specification for the EXIF format would help you
customize yours. From Google, a possible resource is
< http://www.exif.org/>.
