Can you explain this EXIF data stuff a little more

If I crop or PP images in LR and then post them on here I seem to loose all or part of the EXIF data - is it me or is it the upload?

Cheers

Look at the save options in LR and make sure it is checked to save EXIF, and if you use a different program to make thumbnails, make sure it too will save EXIF..

That was a sensible post, and the question about EXIF was sensible, so you just need one more .

Off to a strong start is right!:clap2:

I'm here Bill, it's only 6:25pm here in the NY colony.

 

[Brian S]

People.... I know some of those!

 

[Luke]

I do use some programs that strip EXIF data. May I submit an stripped EXIF shot if I have a sooc shot with it intact. I'm more of a manipulator than a shooter.....at least until my shooting gets better.

Yes, go ahead and post your entry. If you win, you can email me the sooc shot.

Well, after seeing the initial entries, I know I won't; but it's good to know that my tweaking skills are still allowed.
