Anyone know how to stop Adobe Photoshop from...

deleting the EXIF data from the jpeg version of the photograph and installing
it's useless crap instead?

Other programs, such as Micrografx, leave the data alone.

If I can't fix it, I will delete Photoshop. I don't need their useless ad in my
photos...

Post your proof! or:

What steps, exactly, are you taking such that you are deleting EXIF info.

Look at a PS saved image to see it. They erase much of the original info
saved from the camera.

I took a photo straight from my DigiReb, a copy that was opened in PS 6
and saved, and one that was opened in PS, resized, and saved. I ran the
three of them through ExifTool, the original had 125 lines of information,
the other two had 129 lines. There were differences in FileSize, FileName,
ImageSize, ImageHeight, ImageWidth, where you would expext them to be.
PhotoShop added "PhotoshopFormat", "PhotoShopQuality", "PhotoShopThumbnail",
and "ProgressiveScans" - but *ALL* of the original Exif data was still
there.

Can't check at the moment, but I think it is the 'save for web' function
that strips this info. I guess to reduce the size as much as possible.

The full exif data takes up something like 15K so is really not
appropriate for web use, definitely not in thumbnails. If you want to
keep it, use Save a Copy /Saveas instead.

Photoshop CS does not appear to delete any EXIF data.

I believe the current theory is that the original complainant
was using "Save for Web", which does trim EXIF content.

an example... using 'save as' of the RAW file as a jpg in Photoshop:

If I do the same thing in Nikon Edit - the original photo data EXIF remains

The information is still there, it's just that Photoshop saves it in XMP
format, so whatever you're using to read the EXIF data needs to understand
that format.
