Find all the information of a photo in macOS Mojave

Finder Mac logo

The Mac operating system, macOS Mojave, was introduced a little less than a year ago. From the beginning we were told about a stable and reliable operating system, but with a lot of professional features. One of them is the one we tell you today.

From the Finder we can select a photo and access all the information of this, such as the make and model of the camera, and the parameters with which it was taken: lens, ISO, speed, exposure time, aperture, among others. What happens is that this information is a bit hidden. We show you where it is.

It is true that this information is available from Photos and from the vast majority of photo applications. But it is important to have information from the Finder about a photo that have been sent to us or have outside our library For it:

  1. The first thing to do is Open Finder.
  2. Select a photograph, taken with the iPhone or any other camera.
  3. One option will be click on the «i» found on the toolbar. You can also do Cmd + i, with the selected photo. In this case, the second option is called "more information". If it is closed, click on the small arrow on the left to display the information.

Adjusting the Finder display options

But the most practical thing is to have this information always accessible on the right side. In this way it is very fast to access this information and we can compare parameters by just jumping from photo to photo.

  1. Click on a photo on the right button.
  2. Go to the option «Show preview options »
  3. Now the list of photo options. It highlights the Exif data that gives us information about how a photograph was taken: speed, aperture, ISO, etc.
  4. Now you must select or remove each option whether you are interested or have no relevance to you.

With features like this, macOS is fully prepared for any professional photography task, without having to rely on third-party applications.
