Photoshop & EXIF data

[stubbsy]

I'm busily using Nikon View & PS CS to convert my masterpieces to jpeg from RAW. I notice that while PS keeps some of the EXIF data it discards what I consider important info like the lens used to take the pic. I'm guessing PS doesn't know about this whereas NC does. Is this correct or is there something I can do in PS to keep it?

TIA

If you safe as a jpg then all data is retained - but if you use ”save for web” it is lost.

Chris.

I'm saving as JPEG NOT "for web" since I read elsewhere save for web was bad. However when I look at the EXIF in the jpeg not everything is kept esp the type of lens. An example is here

That’s interesting stubbsy - before posting my reply I took one of my photos and did a save as jpg to check and everything was AOK.

I always to a quick check before I put my foot in it.

Will investigate.

stubbsy - I dragged your pic to my desk top and opened in PSCS. All of your data is there - you used a 70-200 f/2.8 lens on the shot!!! Speed 1/160th iso 400 aperture f/4.8

Well that's interesting, I use a program called Opanda Iexif and it doesn't tell me what lens you used but it tells me that your focal lenght was 340mm or 510mm in 35mm equivalent. Did you use a converter?

You're correct. I just reloaded the jpg into PS and it shows there (didn't try that before), but it ONLY shows in PS. When I look at the NEF using ThumbsPlus or Opanda EXIF it tells me the lens, but nada when I look at the jpeg. Me thinks PS moves it to a PS only spot!

Yep. as above I tried opanda and yes, I had a 1.7TC on the camera.

Peter - I don’t know much about xmp but I would guess that it is the other exif data programs that are stripping the data or unable to comprehend the data.
