Metadata is, almost by definition, non-essential to the layer and pixel composition of an image; so the fact GIMP ignores it during load only makes a difference if you need to write said composition back to a TIFF file with original metadata preserved. (Which is, of course, little consolation if your particular workflow relies on this.) -- Stratadrake [email protected] -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth.
