Title: It's all in the details
Post by: Chad Edgar on January 27, 2006, 12:41:00 PM

Just so some of us (me included) can learn, and others can offer accurate help; any time you post pictures the following vital information would be really helpful

Aperature Value, Shutter Speed, and Exposure Compensation Value.  Often times this helps somebody tell you why the shot was underexposed or overexposed, or maybe just get an idea how you capture that beautiful shot!

If you are shooting digital, the EXIF info (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, lens and focal length) should be imbedded with each photo and available for recall in Photoshop.

In Photoshop (I have CS2), File>File Info>Camera Data 1

This will give you the info even if you've worked the image and saved as a jpeg.

I have access while the images are still on the camera I believe.

Thanks Weasel.  After your comments I discovered that I can also access this info thru iPhoto on my mac by selecting the photo and clicking on "Get info."  Thanks for the help!

If you use Microsoft Office Picture Manager, right click on the pic and then click on properties.  Click on "More" and you get the following (screen shot):
