Does Google Picasa store metadata in the picture files themselves? If so, what metadata is actually stored inside the files? (as opposed to Picasa's internal database)

Best Answer
Picasa writes tags and captions in the IPTC block (that is in the image file) if the file format supports it. http://picasa.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=15055
Since version 3 or so there is also a function to display an iptc tag as album.
(I used that myself and verified that it is actually using iptc via irfanview)
