How do you keep the Exif data in CS2?

[Trev Rich]

When I resize my images then "save for web", the exif data gets lost somewhere.
I have been trying to work out what I've ticked wrong somewhere but i cant suss it out :shake::shake:
Anyone go any ideas? :shrug:

don't use the save for web option. use the normal save as if you want to retain exif. The save for web option strips all the extra data, meaning you get a smaller file, at the cost of the exif data :)

ah.... that would throw up the next problem then... Whats the best way to get a small file without too much data loss?

I resize using "Irfanview", very simple to use, must be as I can use it.....:D

Save As - choose JPEG quality 7

nice one thanks.. will have a go at that one later :thumbs:

Yep... for web stuff I usually use between quality 6&7, depending on the file size at the bottom of the box :D

have given that a go and works a treat.
weird that theres not an option to keep the exif when you save for web though?
