PhotoME

[ConsAreLiars]

It's basically an EXIF viewer, showing all that extra data that is recorded along with the image itself on digital cameras and made available to any who view both the image and can also read that data which is being included. http://www.photome.de/

There are several ways to read that EXIF data, but this program has the advantage of being added into your web browser so a simple right click/select brings it up, and another click (top right button) will open that image in your preferred editor.

This is from a bulletin board for PWP ( http://www.dl-c.com/discus/messages/2/12166.html?1214497364 ), but the guidance transfers easily to other browser/editor combos:

"David, you might want to try PhotoMe (http://www.photome.de/). This is a pretty nice metadata viewer which includes a histogram display. It's currently free and runs as a stand-alone. After installing it, you can install a FireFox plug-in that allows you to launch PhotoMe on a web page image (Settings > Web browser integration). Also, you can configure Quick Launch buttons to open the currently viewed image in any application you like (Settings > Options). For example, find a web page with an image of interest. Right-click the image and open it in PhotoMe. Click your Picture Window Pro Quick Launch button and the image is opened in PWP. Pretty neat."

The one slight stumble I encountered was realizing that the gadget on the top right second row was the one I needed to hit to ID my preferred editor. There appears to be a hell of a lot more capability in this program, but this is enough for me to recommend it.
