hey all

Does anyone know how to keep the © sign and information embedded when you save a photoshop file for web use?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

TIA

Thanks for the help. What I’m actually trying to do is pull images off a CD, resize them and save for web.

So I’ve got a script that opens each image in the CD, resizes etc, opens the "file info" box, appends a copyright notice from a photoshop XMP file, and then saves it for web at various sizes I need.

But it seems to me that the little © notice in the document title (ie when you open the image in photoshop itself, it appears as "©img001.jpg") is only there if you save it as a normal unoptimized jpg. If you save it for web, no such like. The image just becomes "img001.jpg".

Anyone had a similar problem, or more importantly a solution!

TIA

What I’ve got is a large number of images, that I am resaving

If you put the copyright into the ‘copyright’ field (File – File Info – Copyright) it stays in the JPEG or GIF image (right near the beginning of the file), but you don’t see it in a browser, but you can see it using a text or binhex editor. Is that what you want? If you want it to show, you can put the copyright in a type layer. If you need to automate that, use the ‘security’ option in File – Automate – Save for Web. Finally, you can script both using the scripting plug-in for V7, and presumably CS.

Save for Web strips away excess non-image data. Do Save As.

I’m afraid there’s been yet more misinformation regarding the embedded text ‘copyright’ posted. I posted earlier how V6 works on the Mac, and now that I’m at work, here is how Version 7 works (on the Wintel platform). This presumes all you want is to keep the copyright notice in the image so that it can be seen with a HEX or Text editor. It does _not_ place the text over the viewed image.

PS Version 7.01 (Wintel, XP Pro)
Saving JPEG and GIF files with File – File Info – Mark Copyright (with the copyright typed in.)

Save For Web – JPEG and GIF both carry the copyright
Save As – JPEG only (GIF loses the copyright)

I’m afraid the later is not true. Save As for GIF (only) loses the copyright.

On my XP box Save for Web strips the copyright in both 6 and 7 for jpeg.

Stange. Well, it’s a bit late for us to post a bug report. 🙁

On my XP box, PS7 retains the copyright notice in a jpg file using either Save As or Save For Web. However, PS cannot read the copyright notice from a file that was Saved For Web; nevertheless, the copyright notice really is in the file, as jjs has said.
