Hi Abdullah
phocus will always embed camera settings etc (meta data) if you want to deliver an image without embedded data then a cut and paste into a new document will do that. For a batch of images I believe "exif tool" can do this. Why do you want to remove this data?

acutely there is no series reason,, am just wondring if it can be removed  ,,

thanks for the help ,,

other thing dose the TIFF-16 is the right choice to edit the picture in PS ?

i mean after i adjust the raw file in phocus ? what the good choice to export for PS

[jonathan.lipkin]

TIFF-16 exports a 16 bit/pixel image. This will produce a larger file, but give you a higher quality image. If you have a fast enough computer and enough memory and disk space, you should use this option.

Is there a Difference (in Picture Quality), if I export it as .psd File?

What I do is as follows:

I process my files in Phocus and save them as 16bit files.
I open them in CS5 where I retouch them,or modify (not adjust, thats done in Lightroom) as necessary.
Then I use Lightroom to work on them, darken, lighten, using the tools as necessary.
They are exported/ saved in the same folder as originals but in a new folder named pp.
I open them again for final inspection in CS5, check for dust, sharpen, copyright and change mode to 8bit right at the end. (I throw the 16bit files away)

I know this is long winded (and some of the steps could be done in lightroom) but my images are hand crafted, that's what my clients pay for.

Heres a bit as to why 16bit.
