Metadata is additional information about a file that’s digitally encoded into the file. Some metadata, like the date a file was created or last updated, is embedded in all the documents you have created on your computer. Image files, including digital photographs, scanned drawings and original artwork created in a graphics editor such as Photoshop or GIMP, also contain metadata. Image file metadata provides details on image size, resolution and bit depth, as well as camera and exposure information for digital photos. You can easily view picture metadata using Windows Explorer. Tips Writer Bio
