Many programs don’t save the EXIF data after the image has been manipulated.

This works for CS2 – not sure about CS …

Open the image in PS
Alt-Click (and hold) where it says Doc: xx.xM/xx.xM
Multiply the two numbers (for height and width in pixels) together, and hey-presto you have as close as you’re going to get for the photos resolution.

Hope this helps.

That would only apply -IF- the image were not resized for the web. One rarely sees 2100×2800 ‘web’ imagery.

Of course. I probably didn’t read the original question properly – I was thinking along the lines of the OP viewing photos from the likes of pbase.com users.
