EXIF viewer plug-in for Firefox

Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 | Photos, Tech |

FxIF is a Firefox plug-in that displays EXIF data that cameras record to image files. Once it’s installed just right-click on an image and choose Properties to see what settings the photographer used. It’s almost like View Source for photographs.

Note that some image software trashes the EXIF data, so sometimes there won’t be anything to see. For instance, here’s the original photo I uploaded and that I used to generate the EXIF data above. Here’s the smaller preview that the WordPress software that runs this blog created. In the process of downsizing the image WordPress threw out the EXIF info.

Thanks to Ken Rockwell for the tip on customizing the D40’s EXIF comment setting.
