I've never found anything remotely resembling inforation about someone in a jpg... but now you've made me curious...

So if I save my picture in JPG format in Adobe Photoshop 4.0, there's no extra information about me and my machine in the picture?
Exactly.....Unless youve specifically TOLD photoshop to embed a digital watermark (which is a service you have to pay extra for).
