Believe it or not, Preview can display all this EXIF metadata — you just have to know where to look. To see the EXIF data for the current image, just press Command-I, then click on the Details tab, and if you scroll down a bit, you’ll see a header for EXIF Properties, along with the full scoop on your image.</SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#999999" face="Lucida Grande" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV><FONT class="Apple-style-span" color="#999999" face="Lucida Grande" size="3"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 11px;"><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></SPAN></FONT></DIV><DIV>One can't see the EXIF data.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"><DIV>Quite a few imaging programs - Photoshop's "save for the web" feature, for example - strip the EXIF data.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>I discovered this feature in Preview quite by accident the other day, but I prefer EXIF Viewer which allows you to right-click on an image, choose "Open With..." & see its metadata.
