Metadata tooltip

You can turn the display of overlays on or off. You can choose to display a basic overlay view
showing a photo’s version name and caption, or you can choose to display an expanded overlay
view showing a photo’s rating, badges, aperture setting, shutter speed, and other information.
Additionally, you can create a custom overlay view to display any combination of metadata.

You can choose different metadata overlay views for the Viewer, the Browser in grid view and
filmstrip view, and the Browser in list view. You can also display metadata with labels that help
identify the types of metadata being displayed.

Note: Choosing a metadata view for the Viewer also defines the metadata that appears with
photos in full-screen view. Choosing a metadata view for the Browser in grid view defines
the metadata that appears with thumbnail images in the full-screen view filmstrip, as well as
thumbnail images in the full-screen-view Browser mode.
