Is there any way to retain the EXIF info when saving a jpg file from the original RAW format in CS2? I know it can be added back in manually, but I would like to avoid that route if possible.

Don't know about CS but with PSP it has a tick option
when you use SAVE AS to include it..

I've managed to answer my own question following on from your comment about Save As.

I had been using the Save for Web option which it would seem strips the EXIF information. Using Save As instead retains that info.

Yep, 'Save for Web' does just that - it optimises the files to be viewed in a web browser, which means as little data as possible. So CS2 ditches the EXIF to save space/file size.

I always resize my images and use 'Save As' - that way, whichever version of the file I am looking at will have all the EXIF data to hand.

It's irritating though as CS2's Save for Web has much finer control over the resizing than the dialog box that appears with Save As.
