Leo I think you will find you are not alone when it comes to NOT wanting to pass on information that you consider confidential. > ADOBE: why, oh why are you denying me full control over the metadata of my > own pictures?

It's only camera generated data that you cannot edit. You can edit the other data. The more noise people make on the Adobe site for a features request, the more likely they will listen and provide the means to edit camera generated EXIF data. There should be an option, IMO, in the Camera Raw dialog that lets you exclude camera data and also a command in the File Browser that lets you delete it for multiple files. Brian Price wrote a script that will strip the camera EXIF data. He was going to modify it...Brian, you listening? Did you find the time to update it? You can download it from the expert/studio/exchange/share section (who can remember?) of the Adobe site. It should still be there under the Photoshop > Scripts section. > How long until we have to accept Adobe, Canon, Nikon or other corporate > logos super-imposed over our pictures? Well, they already do, in a way. Check the camera EXIF data! <g> Shangara Singh. ________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.photoshopace.com || http://www.examaids.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
