I've been using Save for Web, but that kills all the EXIF. Is there away to keep the EXIF and use save for web?
When using Save As, I need to convert to 8-bit and then locate the folders from the RAW directory...bah...
How do you save??

I thought you couldn't get the exif info on JPG.

I use "save as", and the folder I store all my web images in is a subfolder of the raw images folder. If you use save for the web there is no way to save the exif info.

I dont think that is true. The info is only lost after a certain amount of manipulations.

Jpgs can contain exif data. I am guessing you are using CS2? Eventhough I do not use CS2 I remember seeing something about "Save for Web" which, I believe will not save EXIF information but, using "Save As" will retain the EXIF information.
Ohhhh duhhhh. I did not notice this was in the Photoshop Forum. Well my assumption was correct then. LOL.
I usually use PSE or NC4 and both can convert from RAW(NEF) to JPG and retain EXIF info.
i used to save as, but it makes the files too big so lately i've been saving for web @ 75%.
save as will retain exif information.
Correct, "save for web" strips exif info. I just redid my pbase gallery with save as so that the exif info is retained. I just use "save as" instead at anywhere between 5 to 8 in quality (the pictures are just for casual viewing and not printing anyways). Resized at 640 pixels on the long side, it gets the pictures to around 100k or less.
I usually don't borther with EXIF data.

Alex,
What about that script that we were using before ? Downside is that you SEE the actual data on the frame.

I use a FANTASTIC framing script that was created by a user on "Canon Digital Photography Forum" and is located here:

Highly recommended as it has a GUI and can be completely configured to show Exif in the photo or not.....
