Emily I already explained didn't I? 1) Save as bmp. *I* don't decide not to keep the info - it's the format. 2) Save as JPEG but routinely optimise the graphics for web with JStrip, JpegWizard etc - kind to your visitors - *I* am not consciously removing the half a dozen words embedded you think are important, "I didn't even know they were there, honest guv". I was just getting rid off the 86% irrelevant bloat that makes your images load so slowly at the moment. SO the fact your images end up without the info is totally irrelevant. The absence of the info does not prove intent: something that would be hard to claim for cloning out your (C) symbol of other watermark that's for sure. That is, no protection over and above any statutory protection you have bought for your images by registering them. Bob One of the few people world-wide not on broadband yet :o(
