p.1 #1 · Need help with missing EXIF data


I wanted to upload this pic to the Weekly board, but after crop and resize, it no longer has the EXIF data. How do I go about putting that information back into this pic?

Dumb question, I know, but I'm old. Humor me, OK?

I don't know how to put it back. What tool did you use? In Photoshop a crop and resize will not lose the EXIF data. The trick to keeping the EXIF data is to save the file as a jpeg but *not* using the save for web option. The save for web option shrinks the output file as much as possible, including removing the EXIF and color space info.

I used Photoshop to crop but I have never figured out how to resize in Photoshop. So I use a little program named PIXresizer. Just type in the size and it does the rest. I have never figured out how to do that in Photoshop without screwing it up.

Any instructions?

Karen, thanks. The thing I noticed is that on my screen there was no way to adjust the pixel dimensions. On your screen, I saw that the Resample Image box was checked. When I placed the checkmark in that box, my screen then matched yours. And I changed the width to 640 and did a Save As with a new file name.

Ah, the simple things in life. Sometimes they just sneak by.

Thank you.

Oh, and typing Resize Image into the Help dialogue box in CS3 returns 32 entries, none of which addresses what you just displayed.

Helpful hint of the day:

I've never found the PS help dialogue very useful. When I want a Photoshop question answered I nearly always have better luck with a proper Google search.
