Bob - 23 Jan 2005 22:20 GMT deleting the EXIF data from the jpeg version of the photograph and installing it's useless crap instead?
Other programs, such as Micrografx, leave the data alone.
If I can't fix it, I will delete Photoshop. I don't need their useless ad in my photos...

What steps, exactly, are you taking such that you are deleting EXIF info.

I took a photo straight from my DigiReb, a copy that was opened in PS 6 and saved, and one that was opened in PS, resized, and saved. I ran the three of them through ExifTool, the original had 125 lines of information, the other two had 129 lines. There were differences in FileSize, FileName, ImageSize, ImageHeight, ImageWidth, where you would expext them to be. PhotoShop added "PhotoshopFormat", "PhotoShopQuality", "PhotoShopThumbnail", and "ProgressiveScans" - but *ALL* of the original Exif data was still there.

I guess to reduce the size as much as possible. The full exif data takes up something like 15K so is really not appropriate for web use, definitely not in thumbnails. If you want to keep it, use Save a Copy /Saveas instead.

I believe the current theory is that the original complainant was using "Save for Web", which does trim EXIF content.
Bob - 25 Jan 2005 01:10 GMT OK I should have specified that if I load in a RAW format picture and save it as a JPG (I haven't tried any other format) then the EXIF is gone, just a version of Photoshop data is there. That means I have to convert to jpeg in Nikon E. and then save and re-load into Photoshop to edit - trashing the quality of the photo...
an example... using 'save as' of the RAW file as a jpg in Photoshop:
File: - I:\!_Nikon_D70\2004\05_(May)\09_(691-708)_RAW\DSC_0706.jpg

If I do the same thing in Nikon Edit - the original photo data EXIF remains intact:

The information is still there, it's just that Photoshop saves it in XMP format, so whatever you're using to read the EXIF data needs to understand that format.

So it's Elements that is the problem? I should up-grade to the pro version?

(Doesn't Elements 2.0 store the data in XMP format? That's perfect permissible, but it's unlikely that your little EXIF dumper tool understands XMP)

I know it saves jpg to jpg - but RAW??
>(Doesn't Elements 2.0 store the data in XMP format? > That's perfect permissible, but it's unlikely that > your little EXIF dumper tool understands XMP) I don't know - I've tried reading the exif with both windows XP and with Irfanview - no dice.
And when they do see the exif - they can't find the ISO! Only Nikon View sees it.
Too bad people don't know the word 'standards'...

Only Nikon View sees > it. Hmm that sounds familiar. Sounds like Nikon screwed that up if it's true. I've played with several exif readers & writers & mismatches are pretty common.

[quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > >I know it saves jpg to jpg - but RAW?? Yes, RAW. I'm sure of that - I checked it before I first posted. (That's why I bought Elements 3.0 - it includes Adobe Camera Raw) And when I saved to a JPG (after converting to 8-bit, of course) all the EXIF data from my original RAW file got saved in the JPG, and I was able to see it from a non-photoshop application.

I just got an offer from Adobe to upgrade (do they have spy's??) they want $300US to upgrade to the full version. That's maybe 400 Canuck Loonies...
hmmmm
