Michael I don't think that's true...You will get some degradation, or rather a very minute change in the value of some of the pixels, even if a JPEG was saved at the highest quality setting and then resaved after striping only the non-bitmap data. If you were to strip the non-bitmap data without opening the file, then you may escape "degradation." Hopefully, Photoshop CS II will give us the means to strip camera EXIF data from within the File Browser without opening the file. <g> Shangara Singh. ________________________________________________ :: Adobe Certified Expert (ACE) Photoshop CS :: Photoshop CS Essential Tips || Photoshop Glossary (eBooks) :: Examaids for Adobe & Macromedia Certification :: http://www.photoshopace.com || http://www.examaids.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
