Frequently asked questions
- What is EXIF data in a photo?
- EXIF (Exchangeable Image File Format) is metadata embedded in image files by cameras and phones. It includes camera model, shutter speed, aperture, ISO, date taken, GPS location, and more.
- Can I add copyright information to my photos?
- Yes. Use the metadata editor to set the Copyright, Artist, and Rights fields. This embeds your ownership information directly in the image file so it travels with the image.
- How do I change the date on a photo?
- Open the image in the metadata editor and modify the DateTimeOriginal field. This is useful for scanned photos where you want to record the original date of the physical print.
