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...

Post your proof! or:

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.

Can't check at the moment, but I think it is the 'save for web' function
that strips this info.  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.

Export using Image Ready.

Photoshop CS does not appear to delete any EXIF data.

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:

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

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.

For heaven's sake: You have been going on and on about PS, and all the
while it's Elements, - v2 at that- that you're really talking about.

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

You might just try going to the current version of Elements;
that has no problem saving all the EXIF data in a JPG file.

(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??

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'...

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.

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
