In the Web Module there is a wonderful HTML template called EXIF Metadata, which displays beautifully crafted EXIF information in Bold under the image. Each new piece of information is situated on a new line and looks well formatted and neat. It includes things that people may not want visible however, e.g. the camera serial number. So wouldn’t it be nice to create our own version of this, but with the information we want in it?

About the Adoe Photoshop Lightroom user interface, Tom says: “Lightroom has been designed from the ground up to provide a targeted solution for photographers. With that specific goal in mind Lightroom’s interface and user experience team was able to customize the experience specifically for the workflow and aesthetic of the photographic community. Input from photographers led to an interface that places the photography as the center of attention while the application is able to recede into the background when necessary.”
