Cool, thanks, I’ll give it a go and see what happens. If the files dont work out how I want then I’ll just restore a backup and try again.

I don’t know how Elements works (don’t have it) but you should try to write keywords to a couple of JPEGs and see if they how much they change in file size. (Take a note before you do anything!) If the actual image is untouched the file size shouldn’t differ more than a couple of kB at the most, I think.

Good tip, thanks I’m planning on moving 30,000 photos, a mix of Raw and Jpeg, from Adobe Elements 6.0 on Windows to Adobe Elements 6.0 on Mac, but since Elements on Mac does not include the Organiser (apparently) I was going to have to write my keywords to my files and they can then be read in Bridge. Thats ok for Raw I think but could damage the JPEGS?Since Elements does not seem to have the export with original and keywords option then I think I’ll do this by upgrading the catalog into Lightroom and then exporting as you described. Am I crazy? Do you know if there is an easier way to do this? Am I missing something?By the way, great photographs and HDR, I especially like the second HDR shot from the Uppsala post. Maybe when I get my Mac setup I’ll spend some time on HDR
