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 that 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. In the Field column, locate the EXIF information you want to
display using this caption. The Value that will be displayed is
listed in the right hand column.

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 won’t display any available EXIF macros. 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 Layer 1 in the Slide List.
