[QUOTE="Fred Kingston_RIP, post: 799679, member: 10742"] Just some additional data... You'll notice that whenever you hover over an image, the little EXIFY icon spins, but no data is displayed... That's because one, or both conditions below exist. 1. Some web sites, to conserve disk storage (because some vendors charge by the amount of data downloaded) strip the EXIF data from image files... Facebook is famous for this... That's problematic for photographers because it also strips their copyright data... 😩 And, in today's world, some folks take that to mean they can freely use your work... Always be aware of this and watermark before posting to those systems... 2. The second condition is various post-processing applications/processes correctly strip the EXIF data...An example is Stacking/and HDR type editors correctly don't include the EXIF data because the image is comprised of multiple images with different settings... There are editors, such as Lightroom that allow you to "add/edit" the EXIF data before exporting to a final image... If you do this type work, and if it's important to you, be sure to include that EXIF editing process to your normal post-processing work-flow... [/QUOTE]
