Turn the display of metadata labels on or off
You can use the Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog to specify that a metadata overlay view
show metadata with labels. Labels provide the names of the metadata fields, such as “Lens” or
“Caption,” and help identify the types of metadata being displayed. In some views, metadata
labels are shown by default, but you can turn them off in the Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog.
Turning off metadata labels can help save visual space in the selected metadata overlay view,
allowing you to add more metadata fields to it.
m
In the area below the Display Order column of the Browser & Viewer Metadata dialog, select or
deselect the “Show metadata labels” checkbox.
Metadata labels are turned on or off for the selected metadata overlay view. When metadata
labels are turned on, they are displayed with the metadata fields they identify.
