Hi , I just got a new Olympus E-3 in March and just started shooting in raw format last week and processe in the program that came with the camera.  I just started a on-line landscape course this week but can't  find my exif data.  Can't find the info in the cameras program or when I chance it to a tif and bring it into Photoshop7.  Can anyone give me some advice.  I would like to keep shooting in raw and not go back to jpeg for this class.  Thanks..bonita

best bet is to check all of the files from import to computer right through to finished product. See wehre the info is lost and you have found the culprit program. Try opening the file directly in photoshop and check it there as well as checking if the camera's display screen will show the file information. 

How do you transfer the files from memory card to computer?

Rich I transfer from camera to computer.  The info shows up in Photoshop when I use to shoot in jpeg format and on all my old photos shot in that format just not the ones in raw.  But I just bought Olympus studio and it all shows up there.  So I'm out $99.00 but it works well with Olympus master2.  Thanks for the help guys.

Hmmm, what about converting to DNG format ??

Adobe has a free stand alone proggie for that..

Not sure if your version of Pshop support DNG files
