This is no more true than it is of submitting a manuscript to a publisher.
And you aren't "giving out your original". You're transmitting a COPY of the original, the -- say it with me, now -- same way you do when you submit a manuscript to a publisher.
Thousands and thousands of people do this routinely with words. Why is it people seem to think pictures are so different?
(And just as importantly -- if you really don't trust site council not to steal your stuff, then don't submit here.) |

| While I am as paranoid as the next guy (and he has been watching me, I just know it!) the notion of having to prove that you have followed the rules of the contest seems no more intrusive and less onerous than say, the pre-flight screening for an air flight. Plus there is no long line and no one makes me take off my shoes. Unfortunalely being a total newbie at this I have never saved my EXIF files in the past so I need to do a little homework, but really people these are reasonable measures (even if it my DQ dummies like me from time to time) |

Soen sities have software or whatever that extracts the exif info when the shot is being uploaded. Fore instance, Pbase does that some shots. Why not have something similar?

| Because we need the original exif which goes with the original, unedited photo, which you are most likely not uploading for the challenge. |

You must have missed that in your first reading of the rules -- you must take off your shoes before uploading your original ....
Seriously, there is no "EXIF file," there is "EXIF Data" which your camera incorporates into the file it saves. This information will change if you re-save the file, even if you don't make any other changes. What you need to keep is the original file, just as you copied it from the camera/card to your computer. If you save that to CD before you do anything to it, you will always have an "original" file available. |
