GIMP preserves EXIF metadata when exporting as JPG - the option is there on the Export dialog and it's checked by default. I agree on the point though - whether or not GIMP needs to load the metadata in an image is distinct from whether the user cares about having that metadata. If you open a TIF file, what happens to the metadata when you export, and especially if you overwrite? -- Stratadrake strata_ranger hotmail com -------------------- Numbers may not lie, but neither do they tell the whole truth. |
