I just updated my version of CS3 to 10.0.1. From the update page at Adobe, the following 2 updates are mentioned.

1. The Save for Web feature now includes an option to "Include XMP" (metadata) in the settings menu within the main Save for Web interface, making the existing capability easier to access.

2. When using Save For Web with "Include XMP" enabled, all XMP data is now included in the optimized file.

I am assuming that saving files using the “Save for Web” feature will now allow one to save exif data with the file if I understand the "Include XMP" (metadata) feature correctly. I can not find this. How do I turn this on?

It’s on this fly-out menu:

Thank you John. I didn’t realize that fly-out menu was there. However, it still does not seem to save exif data. KUSO Exif reader can see it, and of course Bridge can see it, but Nikon View can not, and if I upload the image to my Pbase gallery, it can not be read there either. Is there a trick I’m missing?

You might look in that bottom option: Edit Output Settings…

I looked in the “Edit Output Settings… “, but didn’t understand any of it. I tried the default settings under that menu, but that didn’t work either.

If the Help function in CS3 was any help, I wouldn’t have to post stupid questions in this forum… Oh wait, there isn’t supposed to be any stupid questions, or so I’ve heard.

Here’s another ? about that "Include XMP" option. Just to get an idea of what’s going on, I set the print resolution to a distinctive value–312 ppi–then used "Save for Web" with the XMP option to save a JPEG. Then I reopened the file and tried to find some record of that 312 ppi value. Photoshop reports 72 ppi. In other words, it can’t find my 312 setting and so it shows its default 72. Same thing in Bridge. In fact, the only way I can "find" my odd-ball 312 ppi is to use an EXIF utility, which shows X and Y resolutions of 312.

For now, I’m ignoring the fact that there isn’t much point to saving print resolution for a web file, but still I’m wondering why the option goes to the trouble of saving this value as metadata, if neither PS nor Bridge can find it later on?
