Paul Coddington Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Obviously, some file types have incompatible metadata or no metadata at all, but this is not the issue raised here. When saving a TIFF as JPG, or even a TIFF as TIFF (under a different file name), some of the compatible metadata created in Windows Explorer properties is transferred incorrectly.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Kiwi Mate! TIFF is kind of the red-headed step child of image formats. There's honestly no compelling reason to use it except for multi-page faxes, and Paint.NET only supports it in a "good faith effort" kind of way. If you can switch to PNG, your life will be much easier.

midora Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 If you can switch to PNG, your life will be much easier. But not if you like to store metadata like exif. This is not part of the PNG specification. http://www.digitalpreservation.gov/formats/fdd/fdd000153.shtml Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
