Is a picture worth a thousand words? Perhaps, but it can also be very useful to know a little more about photos, particularly digital ones.

Metadata is information that can be added to digital images to provide additional information about them.

This can include the date the photo was taken, its title and the name of the photographer. Microsoft Pro Photo Tools is a program that makes it possible to create and edit metadata, as well as adding extras such as the location in which photos were taken.

This free tool has great potential when it comes to organising a large image collection, and in this Workshop we’ll show you how to get started.
