Digital cameras produce unique file names for each photo.
Photographs can include several forms of identifying information. Every digital photo has a unique file name under the camera operating system. Each photo also includes EXIF information embedded in the data, and it's common to put the photographer's copyright or contact information directly onto the image. Photo editing programs such as Picnik, FastStone Photo Resizer and Zoner Photo Studio can add identification numbers, sequentially numbered file names and other data to digital photos.
