19.3 Retrieving Information
To retrieve any information about your image, hold the mouse pointer over the image
to display a tool tip with very basic data about your image or right-click the image and
select Properties from the context menu.
The following information is available:
General
This tab lists basic file information, such as name, date, size, owner, and permis-
sions, and some basic album information like the album to which the image belongs
and any tags or ratings assigned to this image.
EXIF
EXIF information is provided by the camera and contains all sorts of technical de-
tails about the camera and the image, such as camera manufacturer, model, exposure
time, and resolution. For a basic overview, set the Level of detail to Simple. For
the complete data set, select Full.
Histogram
Use the Histogram tab to display a graphic representation of the range of tones
from dark to light in your image. Using the histogram, check whether you used the
correct exposure in creating this image.

by collection name set in the album properties, or the date that the albums were first
created (this date can also be changed in the properties of each album).
To create a new album, use one of these methods:
