Do you know how to make a collage in photoshop without deleting the exif info? I've tried more than one way, and it deletes every time. NO good when trying to put something in a competition! (I bet most of yall are gonna tell me to just use one photo... MAYBE I've learned my lesson.)
I hope yall don't mind, but I want to ask you something else too. I just started putting a watermark on all of my photos, so I'm trying different things. Today I used my handwriting as the watermark, and I want imput. I want to know if my handwriting is too bold, distracting, too much, etc... (photo below)
@sweett The EXIF info is likely to be different for both photos in some way, remember... and I think the signature is TOO subtle, I had to look for quite a few seconds to find it. Hope that helps!
I think the exif info gets deleted when you create a new background and copy/past the two photos to it. If you use one photo as it is then add the other one to it the exif info will still be there. Does this make any sense? :D
Here is an example, w/o the border, of what @slmatntwi is talking about. I used the photo of the lenses as the "background" and drug the photo of me pouring on top of it, then merged the layers. The EXIF is nearly the same for both photos, not that it matters to me, but for what its worth.
If you "save for web" in PSE, you wipe your EXIF, not sure what Photoshop does. I usually start with the base photo and use that EXIF info. I also use a program to double check the "taken" date and add that if missing and to also put the Photographer name into the EXIF.
I open both photos and increase the canvas size of one to make the collage. You only get to keep the EXIF of one, but better than none if that's your goal. :)

Make the canvas bigger and after pasting in the other photo crop the canvas down to size.
