<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1478906, member: 29751&quot;]If you want to read up a bit more on what EXIF is, what it was&nbsp; originally intended for, etc. you can find that information on Wikipedia&nbsp; <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXIF" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EXIF" rel="nofollow">at this link</a>.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reformatting, resizing, and many other types of modifications will not automatically strip the file of EXIF data.&nbsp; Circularly cropping an image will maintain the EXIF data, but if you circularly select and copy that to a new workspace, then the EXIF data will be lost.&nbsp; It&#039;s somewhat &quot;quirky&quot; to know what is and isn&#039;t lost.&nbsp; Most image editing software allows you to directly edit the EXIF data...but you have to know it&#039;s there first.</p><p><br /></p><p>In short, it is extra &quot;behind the scenes&quot; information that gives details about when a picture was taken, the camera settings, the lens used, etc.&nbsp; Recently, GPS information has been more consistently included on files because it is easier to know where images are taken -- particularly, mobile phones are the primary users of the GPS (geolocation) set of tags.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
