Hello J,

Looking at an EXIF file, there are 3 entirely different entries:

Equipment Maker: PENTAX Corporation
Equipment Model: PENTAX *ist DS (my camera)
Software Used: Adobe Photoshop CS

Depending on software reading the EXIF file, "software used" is
sometime seen as "firmware."  Editing something in Photoshop (I use a
PC) inserts the "software used" line.  If I shot in RAW, I would
usually process it through the Pentax Photo Laboratory so it would
have that under "software used," I notice that Photoshop overwrites
that line when you do something there.  Photoshop also knocks off the
lens data, which is why you are asked to manually identify the lens
whether the photo was scanned or digital.

I checked most of the shots I submitted and were accepted and they all
bore the "software used - Adobe Photoshop CS" line.  In any case, that
can be manually edited using the EXIFeditor Mark mentioned earlier.

Besides the EXIFeditor Mark gave a link to, I also use Exifer
(http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/) to view the contents of my EXIF
file (but its for Windows only and cannot edit everything like
EXIFeditor does).

Cheers,

Bong
