Almost all new digital cameras use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used and resolution. EXIF files use the JPEG DCT format, so the image data can be read by any application supporting JPEG, including essentially all Web browsers and image editing, desktop presentation and document creation applications. --- > In photoshop elements, when I fill out "file info" there is a form to > fill out before saving. > IF I put a caption in there iwhen I load stuff to smugmug it keeps > that > info and displays it > > But I am confused by "meta" data versus "exif" - I might even have > known > at some time but > not now lol! Metadata is a superset of EXIF. Adobe has been promoting a more versatile and extensive way of incorporating metadata called "XMP" ... http://www.citationsoftware.com/faqXMP.htm --- QUESTION: What is XMP? ANSWER: XMP stands for "eXtensible Metadata Platform." It is a standard, XML-based, W3C-compliant way of embedding metadata in files. --- The XMP overview with links to other information: http://www.adobe.com/products/xmp/overview.html > If I have set my ppi in photoshop at 300 when I prepare a tiff , for > instance, doesn't it > change that to 72 ppi automatically when I use save for web? or does > saving for web > maintain the 300? I've never used the "Save For Web" tool ... I find it compacts photos well but I don't like how it strips information without my knowing about it and otherwise changes what I've put together. For web display, however, the density setting embedded in the image file doesn't matter ... all that matters are the number of pixels in H and V. Very very few image viewing applications honor the density setting and most cock it up when they do. > finally, > got the link to the site? even though I'm off to the darkside for my > digital stuff, I'd > like to still be represented for all my pentax years... > > I have images that were commercially scanned from slides and black > and > white stuff. http://www.pentaxphotogallery.com/artist Go there, get an artist's code, and then go back and set up your profile. After that, start uploading images as it seems appropriate. Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
