If you uncheck that I expect data like the shutter count will still be present. There's a setting in LR to 'Minimize metadata' (or something like that) in the export settings. It's also easy to find the original-in LR, just right-click on the picture and pick 'show in finder'-look at that file with your metadata-viewing application of choice (if you're using command line exiftool you can drag & drop it into a terminal window) and all the metadata should still be there.Īlso Photoshop doesn't necessarily clobber all EXIF but I believe if you use the 'Export for web' function it will. Thanks!There's a setting in LR to 'Minimize metadata' (or something like that) in the export settings.

However, if you are using Aperture or iPhoto on a Mac this can get a bit dicey since their file structure can be a bit confusing to navigate. Alternatively, I suppose you can dig into the image management application's library and find the originally downloaded file. I later tried shooting a JPEG and found that the shutter count information could be found if the image was opened directly from the SD card and not downloaded into Lightroom as is my usual custom. I shoot in RAW and the JPEGs coming out of Lightroom apparently do not contain this information. I will add this to my post above as well.

The safe bet for Mac users seems to be to open an image (any format) as I described above directly from the SD card so as to prevent a 3rd party application from overwriting the data.
Photoshop will do this if you edit an image. If it doesn't work with yours it is because the information was removed. As shown by mattdm's example, this does work with JPEG images.
