[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 703311, member: 13090"] EXIF data is contained within the image file itself and should persist through importing. There are [B]some[/B] applications that strip out EXIF data to conserve space but in all likelihood the EXIF data for your old photos is intact, you just need to find it. To read the data you need a software application that can show you the information, of which there are many. There are online viewers, single-purpose apps that do nothing but show EXIF data and digital image viewers that will display EXIF data. I use a photo viewer called [url=https://www.irfanview.com/]Irfanview[/url] for this, for example. That's not a recommendation, really, it's just one example. Another really good option, assuming your on a Windows-based computer, is [url=https://www.faststone.org/FSViewerDetail.htm]FastStone Viewer[/url]. You can find a whole list of options on [url=http://carlcheo.com/best-exif-viewers]this page[/url] and take your pick. [/QUOTE]
