[Image-SIG] Preserving EXIF data and image.info['dpi'] missing

[Ryan Neve]

I'm using PIL with a time lapse camera to add some text and a few 
reference lines to an image. I'm using jpeg, but may switch to ppm 
(converted from raw). I have two problems.

First, it seems as if PIL can read EXIF data but not write it. Is this 
correct? I've seen a lot of posts asking this question, but no recent 
answers. I really need the EXIF data preserved when I save the image.

Second, when saving, the default dpi is 72, not the original dpi. I saw 
someone suggest:

image.save('file.jpeg', dpi = image.info['dpi'])

but my image.info is {'exif':'very long string...'} with no dpi key.

I ended up hard coding my (300,300) dpi, but this seems less than ideal.

Thanks
