Each Picture file can hold such info and cameras record this info while you take the picture. It does hold data like shutter speed, ISO, Flash, Camera Model, Software used, Copyright, Artist and more. The data is only available if it was prior to your upload inside the file. GLOBO will post the info which is available. So for example copyright is only set if the author has made this special settings. Camera model or scanner used are usually always available.
Please note that you may loose such info while you are resaving inside picture programms, or even if you copy the file on a linux server. To check if you do have exif data available just point your mouse over the file in windows XP and info will pop up. For all info on that file, right click and go on properties, file info, extended. There you will find all exif info available.
As you can imagine this is also a great tool to get an indication on copy right problems. It is not a prove, but an indication. For example if somebody has 10 different camera models online one might get suspicious. I leave the rest of the possibilities to your imagination.
I am myself pretty excited about this feature as I will learn what camera models most people use and it is a great feature to learn from others as manual settings on for example shutter speed can lead to great discussions about photography.
I just uploaded three photos and they show this data (excellent), but when I have them on my own hard disk and point my mouse over the file the data doesn't show. When I click on 'properties' all I see is the size of the file, when taken and what camera, no other info.
How can I change this so that my files show the same info?

Andreas,
when I work on a file to improve gamma or do overlay things and loose the EXIF data or would like to add the name of my analog camera to the scanned file, how could I do that?
Indeed I'm interested in what cameras are used for the fotos. (Especially now that I'm looking for a replacement of my analog one.)

Hi Joe
Reveal will also let you adjust the exif data ;-)
When you lost the exif data after adjusting parameters of the picture, I don't know how to get them again. Just find out if you have a possibility of saving without loosing the exifs in your programm.

if you work for example in Photoshop on improvement of pictures you only will loose the exif data if you do "save for web". Particularily in the older version.
Try saving with "save as" instead. That worked for me.
I created a batch that improves the quality, resizes the way I want it and then I run the batch with the option save copy to other folder. That way I can simply do hundreds of pics within one click of a button :-) (of course this is not the optimal solution. individual image adjustion will always be better)
Best regards,

PS: I also noticed that you loose exif data if you copy the picture to an intranet server which does run samba 2.x, but this might not be of interest for you as you most proberbly have all your images on your local machine.

I like this feature very much and learn now that some members own 6 digital cameras lately, even 3 on the same trip :-)
Also, remember that as digital photography technology grows, some members are using their cameras for scanning their old prints. Aparrently this works very well. That is OK too!
Just please note: the "exif data" information is practical but not in anyway always correct, neither binding.
