Thanks, Godders - a wealth of useful info as always :) ann writes "exchangeable image file" on the black board 100 times.

Ah - now I just opened that area in elements 5.0 and ca-chung! down at the bottom it says "powered by XMP" never noticed that before. ann Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: >On Mar 14, 2007, at 10:54 AM, ann sanfedele wrote: > >>Question one - >>is there a deadline? >> >> >No deadline that I'm aware of yet. > >>Question 2 >>exif is an acronym for ? exposure information? or a specific KIND >>of info? >> >> >http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/E/EXIF.html >--- >EXIF: >Short for 'EXchangeable Image File', a format that is a standard for >storing interchange information in digital photography image files >using JPEG compression.
