Hi:
Thanks for the responses. I truly appreciate.

It says, ...

".... this site/photos contain "EXIF' ... Exchangeable Image File format.
and, ...
"you must use software that supports Exif. The Exif information is lost
if you save a picture in a program that doesn't support it.
There is also specialized software specifilly for extracting and editing
Exif data. "

Any idea on 'EXIF?'

Ah ok. Exif is image information which is stored "inside" a special area in
an image-file. It can contain details of when it was made, the author, the
type of camera used, the shutter-speed and aperture, auto-rotation and many
more things. What they mean is that if your viewing or conversion software
does not support Exif, all this extra data is lost. Either not shown on
your screen, or wiped if you resave the picture.
A free program like Xnview
(http://perso.orange.fr/pierre.g/xnview/enfeatures.html), supports Exif.
