Ever wonder what aperture or exposure speed was used for a particular photo? Well, all this info and much more is stored in the photo’s exchangeable image file data or, better known as EXIF data. On a Mac, you can easily access all of a photo’s EXIF information using Preview.

Time: one minute

Materials
A jpg or camera raw file
A computer running Mac OSx

Method





TIP: You can also use the shortcut of Command and i to open the Show Inspector window.




TIP: There are other tabs in this window and they will change depending on the device used to take the photo. Examples include the IPTC tab, which will show for photos taken with a regular camera. The IPTC tab will show any user added info like keywords and copyright info. Photos taken with a cellphone will have a GPS setting, showing where the photo was taken.
