Losing Metadata/Headers

When I manipulate an image I appear to be losing some of the
metadata/header information that you get access to through the
Image->"Show Info" dialogue.  How can I keep this data across images?

For example.  I have a tiff stack of 30+ images.  If I make a Z maximum
projection of that stack, the resultant single image is missing nearly
all of the unique metadata that was found in the original stack.

I also tried combining two tiff stacks of 30 images.  The resultant 60
image stack did not include the metadata from the original stack.

How do I pass this metadata/header information from image to image?

The images are initially created in Metamorph and I need to keep that
file info in the images.  Can anyone help/guide me?  Thanks
