I’ve just arrived at work and checked. You won’t lose a thing by moving V8 (cs v1) files using the OS.
The Browser "Keywords" are stored in the physical file – in the Metadata under ‘Description’, ‘Keywords’. Annotations (notes) are also stored in the physical file but I haven’t check their exact location – it’s not in the metadata I can see. Therefore moving the image files using the OS (or FTP, etc) has no effect upon moving keyworded or annoted files to other locations.
Does this hold true for (camera) RAW files?
Yes. Information is held in the metadata area of your photoshop image.
That’s a good thing.
Well, maybe. I’m not wild about my originals being modified for any reason.
Well, it’s been happening all the time and you haven’t noticed yet. Look into the File – File Info dialog some time. I have optional XMP definitions, but you should have at least "Description", "Origin" and Advanced. Under Advanced is where you are likely to find things, including the EXIF data. Not to worry if you work in RAW you can always copy your RAW files directly to disc.
