- [Instructor] There is a lot of useful information
about your photos that can be viewed in Lightroom.
Let me show you a couple of ways to find
and display this information
as you're working in the Library module.
I want to start with the grid view,
so I'm going to press the G on my keyboard
to switch to the grid view.
And I've made my thumbnails a little bit large
so that we can see the frames.
You can play with the size of the thumbnails here
in the right-hand corner of the toolbar.
Right now, we don't see any information about these photos,
but if we press the J key on our keyboard,
we get some numbers that just number them.
That's not that useful, but if we hit the J key again,
we go to the expanded cell,
and the expanded cell has some useful information
about these images, including the pixel dimensions,
and we can customize the information
that's in the expanded cell.
If we go up to View and come down here to View Options,
we'll see there's lots of information that can be displayed
in the frame around the photos in the grid view
if you're in the expanded cell view,
I'll close out of this
and we'll take a look at the loop view next.
I'll hit the E key on my keyboard
to switch to the loop view,
and then the I key will bring up the information overlay,
so we see the pixel dimensions here as well.
If I press the I key again,
we get even more useful information about this photo.
And, of course, this can be customized as well.
Let's go back to View, come down here to View Options
and see that the two loop overlays
have customizable fields here, including...
we can go all the way to the bottom
and choose Camera + Lens and notice that the loop overlay
is now showing the camera and the lens captured this image.
So we'll close out of that.
You can explore that to see the information that's there.
And I'll press the I key again to hide that loop overlay.
We can find a ton more information about the photos
in the Metadata panel over here in the right panel group.
By default, we're looking at the default collection
of metadata, and we see that here; it says default.
If you click there, there's a lot of different collections.
Let's go to the XF, or EXIF collection,
and here we'll find the information that the camera captured
when this photo was taken.
So explore this too.
There's a ton of information here.
I'm going to go ahead and switch it back to default for now,
but I encourage you to take the time to explore
all of these places
where you can find information about your photos.
Press the I key several times while you're in the loop view
like this and the J key while you're in the grid view,
and then customize your overlay information
with what is important to you.
