Several reasons: When looking at photos on flickr, particularly via fluidr, it can be interesting to see what the settings were. The meta data can make it easier to find when someone "steals" one of your photos, if they don't clear it out. If someone likes one of your photos, things like the date in the metadata can help you find the original in your raw data storage, particularly if they just send you the (possibly renamed) jpeg that they downloaded off the web. > > Paul > > > ann > > > > On 1/23/2014 16:26, Paul Stenquist wrote: > >> > >> On Jan 23, 2014, at 3:36 PM, Ann Sanfedele <ann...@nyc.rr.com> wrote: > >> > >>> OTOH - improving the quality there may lead to more photo swiping. > >>> > >>> I send Facebook on jpgs at 72 ppi and no larger than 800 px across.. > >>> but I don't do "save for web" because that clobbers some meta-data. > >>> > >>> ann > >> > >> I do “save for web” on all my web-sized images.
