Displaying Metadata with Your Images

You use the Metadata pane of the Preferences window to specify the metadata shown
with images in the Viewer and Browser, as well as the metadata that appears in image
tooltips. For the Viewer and Browser, you can choose a metadata view to display and
choose an alternate that you can quickly switch to by pressing a keyboard shortcut.

You can also choose whether the information should appear on or below the image
using the Placement pop-up menus.

Some metadata views are specifically designed for displaying information in the Viewer,
in the Browser in grid view or list view, or in image tooltips. The following table lists the
metadata views that you can choose and the information that each view displays.
