Unfortunately it looks like there was some object on my lense or mirror which produced an unwanted result in some of the pictures I took. For the most part it's only noticable when that part of the picture is of a blue sky. So my plan is to copy/paste another part of the sky from the picture over the unwanted artifact (if there's an easier way to get rid of this please let me know).
Since I didn't have Photoshop I figured I would try mspaint to see if that would work as an editor. While I was able to edit the picture and remove the unwanted artifact, the problem I encountered was that when saving the file all the metadata was overwritten. It's not a huge deal, but it would be nice to retain the date/time since I think the online site I upload to retains that information.
Since mspaint had this problem I figured I would download the trial version of Photoshop and try that out. Surprisingly, to me at least, it suffered from the same problem.
Does anyone know of an image editing tool which will retain the image metadata?
By the way, this is my first time using Photoshop so maybe there is a way around this. I plan on posting to some photoshop forum to see if there is some setting I can make to override this behavior.
Thanks,
Nick
