Stephen which version of Firefox are you using? I'm on v1.5.0.1 which does not appear to offer this facility.

On earlier versions there was/is a "plug-in" for reading the Exif, but this does not work on the latest version.

Don, the benefit of using Exif read as apposed to PS or Nikon or indeed any other readers is that all you do is right click on the image.
No need to open other programs to open.

Harry, I'm using the same version, and it works perfectly, though obviously if the exif has been stripped out by save for web you haven't a chance Try it on Franks pigeon it works for me

To be honest Don's suggestion of using Nikon view is in my opinion not a good one, though undoubtedly it works. (I always thought Nikon View was a like using a blunt edged sword) Windows Explorer will show you Exif data. Explorer is a very underated free program IMHO.

However if you use CS2 (I see Don's acquired a copy ) then Adobe Bridge is all you will ever need

I can read Exif ok by "Right Clicking" when using IE, but not when using Firefox.

I've just been scouring the web regarding lack of exif read when using Firefox. Have found one program that is supposed to work, have downloaded it but at the moment I cannot get it to work.

As a Canon user I'm obviously not conversant with Nikon View, and I find that at times PS CS2 is a little lacking.

So for non-web viewing of Exif I use "Exifer" This is one super program, been using it for several years in all it's different versions.

Quote Exifer is a nearly free software (you only should send me a postcard if you're using Exifer frequently)

I suppose its best to use what works for you, though I am intrigued by your comments about using CS. For me CS2 and Bridge are virtually a 'one stop shop'

Don, in nikon editor my program doesn't look like yours. I still don't know how to take a snapshot of the whole page. Anyway I did figure out how to access the information I want under "View>Display>List. All the information was there.

It finally dawned (slowly I might add) that Christine said she opened the picrure in CS. CS is a program that she has, I couldn't for the life of me figure out CS, finally it hit me while reading the posts between Stephen and Wolfie.

My learning curve had flat lined there for awhile. I still have a lot to learn about lenses, and editing programs. As far as the editing programs, for now less is more! As for the lenses, well the lessons continue. I think a visit to a local camera shop is in order, pen and paper in hand. I still haven't located a place to take lessons yet.

Thanks to all for your continued help, it is very much appreciated.

Hi Frank,

To help in giving information that you can understand it helps to know as much as possible about your start in photography. Got your kit from your first post, but do not know what you use as an image editing program, although we do know you are just starting out with it and do not know much about it yet, or your familiarity with computors.
Lots of helpful people here that will help you learn, but to prevent us blinding you with science such info is useful.

That bit will be down to you and possibly Christine then, as I know nothing about it and how it works.

I have the PS7.0 downloaded but it's really complictaed. For now I'm using the software that came with my Nikon camera. My computer skills are really non existent. I type with two fingers. It takes me a lot of time to figure out what people are tying to tell/expalin to me. For instance Christine's reference to CS went right over my head. I finally caught it though, with help from Wolfie and Stephens conversation

I've been racking my brain trying to figure out what all the designations on the lenses are about. Finally made a call to help me understand what the "g" my lens and the "ed" of another lens was all about. ED I learned is better quality glass. Now I'm looking for a 2x Nikon converter for my 300mmG lens, but it doesn't seem that any are compatible.

It will take me some time to get this down, please bear with me. I'll try to keep my posts down, and only ask questions if I'm truly at a loss.

Thanks,

Frank

Frank,

We are here for you so ask as many questions as you like. Some of us will know the answer and can save you a lot of time looking for it in a roundabout way.

I will look at converter compatability.
