(Editing) RESTORING(Copy/Paste) EXIF Camera Information

There is information called EXIF Camera Information that can be saved with *.JPG and *.PNG files. It contains all of your camera settings.

Sometimes you may edit your images with software that doesn't re-save this EXIF data with the image. You will then become frustrated because you WANTED that information.

Although you can't produce EXIF data out of thin air, Photo Jockey does the next best thing. Just load the original photo into Photo Jockey. Then click the EDIT menu from the Main Menu. Then pick "COPY Exif Camera Information". Then load the photo that has LOST its information. Then click the  EDIT menu from the main menu. Then pick "PASTE Exif Camera Information". This pastes the data back into the image. THEN you will need to save the photo back to disk.

NOTE: When you save your image back to disk, you might want to consider using a high quality setting like 97% if you plan on editing it some more. Because with a high quality like 97%, you won't see any degradation in quality that you normally see when saving to *.JPG format.
