Photoshop 6 Question

[Ben]

Hi
Is there a way of reading embedded information on a digital photograph in P6? ie fstop, speed, date taken etc. I can't find one but I'm sure somebody out there knows. Thanks.

It's been awhile and I have the memory of a gnat, but can't you go to File/File Info, and go to Exif on the drop down menu?

You can do that in PS7, but my work copy of PS6 didn't have EXIF as an option when I looked earlier today. Maybe there was a patch or addin that fixed that?

[Jeff L]

See what I mean about my memory? I don't remember a patch for that but will look around a bit. I didn't have 6 all that long and upgraded to 7 before I really understood that much about it. (like I understand much now )

Don't hold me to this as gospel, but I'm pretty sure they didn't add the exif information until 7.

I just remember reading somewhere that 7 had it through an additional setup, and 8 has it built in.

Looks like Leah is right Exif not on my copy of P6 under File/File Info. Looks like I need P7. C'est la vie. Thanks anyway.
