EXIF extension (JPEG)
EXIF is the abbreviation for Exchangeable Image File, a format that is a standard for storing
interchange information in digital images using JPEG compression. Almost all new digital cameras
use the EXIF annotation, storing information on the image such as shutter speed, exposure
compensation, F number, what metering system was used, if a flash was used, ISO number, date
and time the image was taken, whitebalance, auxiliary lenses that were used, and resolution.
Canvas allows digital photographers quick and easy access to most of the information that is attached
to these images. After being imported into Canvas, the attached data may be viewed by choosing
Image | DCS information (EXIF). This command is disabled if the image does not contain EXIF data.
You can also view the EXIF data via a context menu. Select the image and right-click to open the
menu. This command will not appear if the JPEG file does not contain EXIF data.
An option to include or remove EXIF data when exporting JPEG images has also been
included in the Export Preview.
The EXIF option is available from the Export Preview window. If an image does not contain EXIF data,
then the option is grayed out as shown in this example.
Using the Save to Web command
The easiest way to create Web pages in Canvas is to save a Canvas document using the Save to Web
command.
Prior to exporting your document as an HTML file, we recommend that you make certain to
save your original project as a Canvas file. You can then edit the original Canvas document if
you want to make changes at a later date.
To save a Web site using Save to Web:
1. Choose File | Save To Web to open the Save to Web dialog box, which contains controls for
range, as well as image and html export.
2. Select the export range by enabling an option in the What to save section.
3. Select either Auto, GIF, or JPEG for the image export in the Format for saving images section.
4. Open the HTML output method menu and select either HTML 4 with Table Layout or CSS2
Layout.
