Extra Info recorded with photo

Archived from groups: rec.photo.digital (More info?)

Hey,
there's all sorts of extra info like camera settings, shutter speed,
apeture, date and time.etc recorded in the image file, but when you edit the
file you loose all the info, is there a way of doing *basic* editing
especially rotating without loosing this info, it's nice to know how the cam
was set so you can learn what settings give good pics in which environments
:-)
Thanks

Irfanview is free, will do rotation, cropping, resizing, resampling,
and some other editing tasks. When saving an edited photo you
can specify whether or not to save the EXIF data.

yea, well with my skills that's the best idea yet! it also means that I'll
know how the photo WAS with those settings before editing.
Thanks, all who comented!
