To access a full list of what each macro does, see the macro listing in the
index of this manual.

EXIF Macros
EXIF macros let you display information about your images directly through
captions. EXIF data, if you’re not already familiar with it, is information
about your images which is stored in the image file. EXIF data includes all
kinds of different things, like the orientation of the image, the width and
height, or the compression method used.

To Insert an EXIF Macro:

1. Open the Insert Macro window.

2. Select EXIF Metadata Macro from the Macro Types dropdown
list.

3. Locate the effect you want the macro to perform in the Field
heading.

4. Select the macro you want to use and click Add & Close.
5. The macro will be inserted and the data will be displayed when
the slideshow is played.

There’s an important difference between EXIF macros and the others. EXIF
macros only appear if that EXIF data is present on the image. An image with
no EXIF data in it won’t have any available EXIF macros at all. The same is
true for IPTC macros. The available EXIF and IPTC macros depend on the
EXIF and IPTC data available within the image.

Macros and Multiple Layers

Many macros, including EXIF macros and most predefined macros, add
information about an image to your slide. When your slide contains
multiple layers, these macros always refer to the top layer.
