These headers are EXIF (digital cameras are especially bad at this), one way is to create your image/ or save it from camera and just open and save again with ifranview or similar with 'keep orginal exif data' unchecked (also uncheck 'save orginal iptc data') and your files will be half the size at least and no distorted or confusing headers.

Thanks for updating us with the solution, Marmarino! When I read your message it didn't even occur to me that you wouldn't be using Save for Web! Shows you the assumptions one makes when you do this all the time

That's another good reason why "save for web" should always be used when creating images for the web!

Possible solution

Someone suggested I try the Save as Web function. Although a dialog appears saying the file exceeds the size Save as Web was created for I proceeded. The process was very slow, but when I uploaded the image I was then able to downlaod it with no problems. I need to do some more testing - especially on a MAC, but looks like this might do the trick.

Apparently it strips out loads of headers that Photoshop (and the Nikkon software) may have added.
