How do I export image info? 1

[NovaWildcat]

Is it possible to export all of the property info that can be stored with an image in Photoshop CS to a text file? Like the copyright info, keywords, the entire properties list(File type, image size, resolution. etc), description, etc.
Thanks in advance.

If there is such an option, I dont know about it. What I do know is there is an option in PS7 where you can log your history and save it out. Under Pref/General, there is a History log where if you make a file a certain size, it will log it, if you color manage it or did anything to that file, it will show as steps.

In testing it myself, it actually does work with "File Info" whereas it shows everything from copyrighted info to the Author. Learn something new everyday.. heh

Well, you can save that data from the file info window - it becomes an .xmp file. I played around and wasn't sure how to open/read it later, but found this link. Seems to be what you're going for.
