    Anyone know how to copy the EXIF data from LightRoom5?

    Anyone know how to copy the EXIF data from LightRoom5? I know how to read the EXIF data, but does anyone know if it is possible copy / extract it so it can be easily pasted elsewhere? I can do this with the metadata but oddly it does not contain the EXIF data. ​Thanks for any help.
