SOFTWARE: How is this info gotten? I see some with PHOTOSHOP and some with what I think is camera firmware.

LIGHTSOURCE: I see various numbers, I cannot match numbers to light source.

In the photo gallery when you open a picture there is a section called camera infomation.

Under "SOFTWARE" I see PHOTOSHOP LISTED or in my pictures I see version 1.00 which I think
is my camera firmware. How much do you have to "fix" your picture to get Photoshop listed as
software. I have played with a couple of my pictures and I do not see Photoshop listed. Where
does the change from camera software to Photoshop accure?

Under "LIGHTSOURCE" I see various numbers. What do they mean?

I do not know what this information means so I am asking. Does anyone know?

It's all part of the exif file that's usually imbedded in with the photo. If someone shoots in jpeg and uploads the photo straight, then you'd see the camera's firmware. If you shoot raw and use a software to transfer to jpeg and/or improve (color, contrast, definition) the program used will show up.

As far as the lightsource, I have to admit that I don't have a clue. Maybe someone else has.
