[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 822681, member: 50197"] You probably know this but just for clarity, as long as you have the metadata in your image file, which the ones you posted do, others with a browser add on can read the data about your photo. For example, the photo you posted above was shot at 19mm on 08/08/2012 at 17:49:56, focus at infinity, no flash, auto white balance, matrix metering, and program exposure mode, as well as the info you provided. What the add on does is to allow you to see the metadata for images others have posted. Most of us here use one, there are several out there, as a tool to easily see info about images that interest us. If you don't want others to see that info, just check the "copyright only" box in LR when exporting the image file. If you want to see other's data, install an add on to your browser. A lot of us use Exify, it only requires that you hover the mouse pointer over the image and the bare bones info magically appears in a banner at the bottom of the image. [URL='https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/exify/llhmhhnpmiikplpnkmbgbgmlenleecle?pli=1']Exify[/URL] Another popular add on is xlFr. It requires right clicking on the image and choosing "View EXIF data". It requires an additional 2 clicks to use, but provides a lot more info on the image than Exify does. [URL='https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/xifr/']xlFr[/URL] Obviously, it's your choice whether to use one of these add-ons. It's just another tool, not all tools are a good fit for everyone. [/QUOTE]
