I hope someone on the list can point me in the right direction. I have a weird problem that I think I have traced to the compression format used in the Photoshop JPEG Options dialog box. There are three Format Options: Baseline (Standard), Baseline (Optimized), and Progressive. It seems that when the third format option, Progressive, is chosen, the image cannot be rendered in my report-writing software (Crystal Reports XI).
So far, the only way I have figured out to tell which format the jpeg was saved in is to open the image in Photoshop, save it as a copy, and examine the dialog box to see which radio button is checked. What I'd like to be able to do is find this attribute in the metadata so I can browse the properties of large numbers of files without having to open and save a copy of each one. I have not been able to find the attribute in any of the metadata schema that Photoshop uses.
