Losing exif info?

[Tobyh]

Hi all,

I've noticed that on my zenfolio hosted site (link in sig) that some of the pictures have all the exif info and yet others are missing it. I can't understand where this can be happening and wondered if anyone can advise.

I tend to do a little RAW adjustment in Lightroom 2, then some adjustments in elements with maybe some noise reduction with Neat Image.

Is there some point where I would expect to lose this info?

Thanks in advance.

I sometimes use the free version of Neat Image - and that strips EXIF data. I also think that Elements saves without EXIF if 'save for web' option is used (but I'm not certain about that).

You are right on both points nutmeg. The free version of Neat Image strips Exif data. I use the paid for version which works as a plugin to PS Elements. This keeps the Exif information intact.

Using save for web option in PS Elements also strips the Exif info. I generally save as either medium or low jpeg. setting depending on the image in Elements and this works fine keeping the Exif info.

Thanks very much.

It must be Neat Image that's stripping it then as I don't use the "save for web" option at all.
