Win7 ult, Win8 pro, Photoshop 6

When comparing a series of photos taken with varying f-stops, ISOs,
shutter speeds, RAW, etc I need to have ths EXIF data layered on to
the image so that I can compare the camera & lens optimums.
Where in Photoshop is the EXIF data presented so as to be copied &
pasted on to the images? Peter

In Photoshop you can get the file data from File-File Info.

Thanks, this allows the cut/paste of E.G. 1/200 sec; f/10; ISO 100
onto the image, and this will do for now.

I am using Widows 7 and CS 2015.

I am curious about how you were able to copy/paste the Camera Data
onto an image. I was unable to copy the panel by any means.

This is a screen shot of that panel open:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/5ij2ktrl00..._1040.jpg?dl=0

Even if it was copyable, pasting onto an image as a layer would make
the layer below it not visible since the panel has a solid color
background.

Screen shot the data to a file.

Add a layer to the image. Load that layer with the screen shot.

Lower the opaqueness of the layer containing the data.


I could make it work with a screen shot, but your suggestion seems to
be impractical. The idea (as I understand it) is to superimpose the
EXIF data on the image so the image can be viewed and compared to
other images using different settings.

If you put the image over the screenshot, and lower the opacity, you
can't really evaluate the image. You need to put text over the image.

The most simple solution to me is to type the text on the image.

The real reason for my post, though, is to find how the panel can be
copied and pasted within PS. I can't figure out how to do that and
I'm an experienced user of PS.

If all that's desired is to see the image and the EXIF data on the
screen, then that's dead simple using either PS or Bridge. Lightroom
is not needed, and if he has it there's no advantage over using PS or
Bridge.

I should add, because there's one person here who always wants to
argue about things, that a screen shot could be taken, the panel
cropped to the essential information, the panel screen shot pasted on
the image and reduced to a small space by free transforming, and then
the file flattened and printed.

But, that seems to be the long way around the barn compared to just
typing FL32, 1/160, f16, 200 on the image. That's all he wants.

This is a pointless and time consuming exercise in PS. If LR isn't
available then using Bridge to sort on exposure and lens criteria is
the better, and more efficient option. Anything else is just a PIA and
a total waste of time.
....and without questioning the OP's motives in all of this, even the
Bridge option leaves me wondering why bother at all.

My recommendation is to get the LR trial and if happy with that buy a copy.
