2. A specific kind of metadata saved by most modern digitial cameras that records the time and date a photograph was captured as well as various camera settings.

9. The number of digits required to express a single pixel - which in turn determines the number of colors in an image.






10. Click inside the Preview panel to access this feature - which allows you to zoom an image's detail from 100 to 800 percent.
