i created an action where i do batch resizing in photoshop cs2 and have it automatically save the file through 'save for web'. however, when doing that with pictures i took with rebel XT, i notice the resized pictures doesn't have the EXIF information any longer. Using the same action and doing a batch with pictures I took with my Canon A80, the EXIF information is still included in the resized pictures.

I also tried saving a picture individually and doing 'save for web' after resize and notice the EXIF info is no longer there. But if i do a "Save As.." instead, the EXIF is there. Is there a reason why pictures with Rebel XT cant keep the EXIF info when "save for web"? .. I could use Iranview to keep EXIF after resizing but I prefer photoshop resizing better. Thoughts?

It think is a feature that Adobe took out of the "Save for web option" cause it does the same thing in Photoshop Elements, stripping the EXIF info. Even with my A95.

Just do a resize and save at higher compression not as save for web.

to hazard a guess, I'd say they (adobe) figured saving for web implied minimum file size (reasonable), and also that a picture posted on a website wouldn't really need the EXIF (also pretty reasonable), so they chuck the EXIF to make the file smaller...
Just use a lower JPEG quality level to save and you'll be fine; although I must say the "Batch Conversion / Rename" tool in IrfanView is also really powerful, so that's another option.
