Charles, how are you getting all that info? I really didn't think photobucket would hold all the editing and detail in the photo.

as some one and i told you, its EXIF data.
its embedded into the photo.

sometimes, when you edit photos, there will be no exif data.

You can disable it on your uploads. IIRC theres also a setting in PS or LR to wipe the exif data.

But if you go into your account, open a picture and look at the right side, theres a collapsible box that shows the data there too.

yes you do.
I'm surprised the class you took didnt teach you about exif.

its a really easy tool to see how others shot a particular shot.
it gives information about aperture, shutter speed, and ISO's.

so if you see an amazing shot, quickly glance at the exif data and you'll know how they set up the cam

Adobe Bridge shows me my settings too.

No settings are ever the same a scene can change very quickly. And it's best to experiment with different settings, never snap one pic and walk away.

lol, you're the noob. noob.
so, you're telling me...that if you see an amazing picture on the web. you save it to your computer and bring it up into adobe bridge, just to see the info!??!? lmao.

EXIF data is used as a tool.
quickly glance at the exif data on a shot, to see how the other person set up the cam.

nothing more nothing less.

No, I never use exif is my point, I was simply stating Bridge shows me MY data. I don't really care about other people's settings. Just because you have the same settings as a pro does not make you a pro.

no fool.
i am not a pro.
but when i see an amazing picture, i want to know how to recreate it.
its called learning.
and by the way you are responding, it doesnt seem like you like to learn.
is that why you made fun of me yesterday for wanting to go back to school!?

Undying has a point. In this digital age. Getting the settings spot on is Step 1 out of many in getting a nice photo.

continue to be ignorant.
your age is showing!!!

its used as a tool, a guide.
NOT "OH THIS IS THE SETTING YOU HAVE TO USE."


Undying's photos of his car was super washed out.
I bet he could fix it, if he studied other peoples set ups.

I agree with the first part, but not the second part.

You can't look at someone elses photo and say "oh he shot it like this, let me copy those settings and see how it looks". Lighting is never the same, especially shooting outside.

Also post production is a very important step that can't be replicated based on EXIF.

It's def a good start to a photo to have the right settings. Can't do much to a photo of its madly under or overexposed.

Well with what Brian just said, he is completely right. I could take a photo and edit it beyond it's true form to make it appear it has different settings and you'd never know. Exif doesn't show what changes you've done with your editing software.
