EXIF.

Gee chris, I'm overwhelmed by your expoundment.

Well, the wikipedia article pretty much says it all. Here's the dummy version as it applies in this instance: A handy, dandy little piece of the image header which, if inspected, reveals all sorts of nifty information about the camera and how a photo was taken. Oftentimes it gets lost when an image is changed and resaved with an program which fails to preserve the header.

Ok, i just read the intro and not the full explanation, after the last post, so i didn't realize that some programs didn't save the header. But what do i know about cameras? I've got a canon A490 digital sitting here for a while now and i still don't know how to use it. Well.......one of these days.................

What i want to know is -- how come owlice's Puddy Tat has orange eyes in the picture?

It's because cats have a tapetum lucidum structure in their retinas, and the camera had a flash.

Although i think Ann's "Dandy" Lion is just GRRRREAT, I can almost hear owlice's Dandylion singing -- I am your sunshine, your only sunshine, I make you haaappy when skies are gray................
