Stupid, yes, but ensures things like © statements are left in there.[/quote] That's still not really a solution. Data's still stripped from resized versions, some of which might be plenty large enough for use on the web. And that doesn't even touch on the obvious: you <em>shouldn't have to limit yourself</em> to posting only small images in the hopes that people won't steal them just to work around Flickr's laziness or ineptitude. Flickr should help to ensure that your data and copyright live on. Dave said on January 29, 2009:

Amazingly, the Flickr staff seems to see this as a feature. I prefer to keep photos on my own servers, but none of the PHP-based gallery software that I’ve seen supports metadata on resized images, either. I wonder how easy it would be to add this using getimagesize and iptcembed. The ATPM galleries do include this metadata because the images were resized on my Mac using sips.
