大多数人不知道计算机中的每个文件都存储一组有关其来源、作者和其他详细信息的信息，具体取决于其类型。这种信息称为元数据，可以说元数据代表“关于数据的数据”。图片是一种特殊类型的文件，不仅因为它们存储视觉信息，还因为它们具有大量元数据。摄影师和其他专业人士使用存储在图片中的元数据，并使用Adobe Photoshop(Adobe Photoshop)或Adobe Lightroom等专业应用程序来完成此任务。但是，您也可以使用Windows 10及其内置功能来查看和添加元数据。这是如何做：
注意：(NOTE:)要了解有关元数据及其用途的更多信息，请阅读：什么是文件的元数据
如何在Windows 10中查看照片的元数据(Windows 10)
打开文件资源管理器并导航(Open File Explorer and navigate)到存储图像的文件夹。然后，右键单击或按住它，然后在打开的菜单中选择Properties。或者，您可以选择图像，然后按键盘上的ALT+Enter
所选照片的“属性(Properties)”窗口打开。转到详细信息(Details)选项卡，在这里您可以看到与图片一起存储的元数据。
元数据分为几个部分：
-
描述(Description)- 您拥有与图片一起存储的标题、主题、评级、标签和评论等信息。
-
来源(Origin)- 此部分为您提供有关图片制作者、时间、使用哪个程序以及是否有任何相关版权的信息。
-
图像(Image)- 您可以看到图片尺寸（以像素为单位）、分辨率（以 dpi 为单位）、位深度、压缩和颜色表示(color representation)等信息。
-
相机(Camera)- 用于拍摄照片的相机品牌、型号、曝光时间(exposure time)、ISO 感光度(ISO speed)、焦距、光圈、闪光模式、被摄体距离等。
-
高级照片(Advanced photo)- 在处理使用专业相机拍摄的RAW照片时，此部分通常包含信息。您可以找到镜头制造商和型号(lens maker and model)、闪光灯制造商和型号(flash maker and model)、相机序列号（在刑事调查中用于识别用于拍摄特定照片的确切相机）、对比度、亮度、光源、曝光、饱和度等信息、锐度、白平衡、数码变焦、EXIF版本(EXIF version)。
-
文件(File)- 有关文件名(file name)、文件类型(file type)、文件夹位置、创建日期、大小、属性、所有者、计算机等的信息。
要查看所有这些信息，请向下滚动浏览所有部分和元数据字段。您可以复制和粘贴您感兴趣的任何信息。
要了解如何更改图片的元数据，请阅读本教程的下一部分。
如何在Windows 10(Windows 10)中向图像添加元数据
现在您已经访问了所选图片的元数据，您还可以对其进行编辑以及添加或删除元数据。大多数元数据字段都是可编辑的。要在字段中添加元数据，请单击或点击该字段的值(Value)框，然后输入要保存的数据。
一些元数据字段具有可以更改的预定义值。在“值(Value)”框内单击或点击后，选择所需的值。
您还可以使用新值覆盖可编辑的元数据字段。要保存元数据更改，请不要忘记单击或点击确定(OK)。图片本身不会改变；只有与它一起存储的元数据。
提示：(TIP:)如果您想删除存储在图片中的一些元数据，请阅读：如何在Windows 10中从文件（ (Windows 10)PDF、JPEG、Word等）中删除元数据
您(Did)是否成功地将元数据添加到图片中？
如果您想保留有关文件的信息，元数据会很有用。您可以更快地找到您的照片，了解您拍摄的照片使用了哪些相机设置、每张照片的拍摄时间、地点和其他信息。我们喜欢 Windows 10 允许用户在不使用第三方工具的情况下查看元数据并将其添加到照片的事实。尝试一下，并在下面的评论中告诉我们它的效果如何。
How to add metadata to photos, in Windows 10
Most peоple are not aware оf the fact that every file in yoυr computer stores a set of information about its source, author, and other details, depending on its type. This information is called metadata, and you can say that metadata represents "data abоut data." Pictureѕ are a particulаr type of file, not just because they store visual informatiоn, but also because they have lots of metadata. Photographers and other professionals work with the metadata stored in pictυrеs, and they use specialіzed appѕ like Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom for this task. However, you can also use Windows 10 and its built-in features to view and add metadata. Here's how:
NOTE: To learn more about metadata and its purpose, read: What is a file's metadata
How to view the metadata of a photo in Windows 10
Open File Explorer and navigate to the folder where the image is stored. Then, right-click or press-and-hold on it, and in the menu that opens, choose Properties. Alternatively, you can select the image and then press ALT+Enter on your keyboard for the same result.
The Properties window opens for the selected photo. Go to the Details tab, and here you see the metadata stored with the picture.
The metadata is split into several sections:
-
Description - you have information like the title, the subject, the rating, tags, and comments stored with the picture.
-
Origin - this section gives you information about who made the picture, when, with which program, and whether there is any copyright associated with it.
-
Image - you see information like the dimensions of the picture in pixels, its resolution in dpi, bit depth, compression, and color representation.
-
Camera - the make of the camera that was used to take the picture, its model, exposure time, ISO speed, focal length, aperture, flash mode, subject distance, and more.
-
Advanced photo - this section is usually populated with information when dealing with RAW pictures taken with professional cameras. You find information like the lens maker and model, the flash maker and model, the camera serial number (that is used in criminal investigations to identify the exact camera used to take a specific picture), contrast, brightness, light source, exposure, saturation, sharpness, white balance, digital zoom, and the EXIF version.
-
File - information about the file name, file type, folder location, date created, size, attributes, owner, computer, and more.
To view all this information, scroll down through all the sections and metadata fields. You can copy and paste any information that is of interest to you.

How to add metadata to an image, in Windows 10
Now that you have accessed the metadata of the selected picture, you can also edit it and add or remove metadata. Most metadata fields are editable. To add metadata in a field, click or tap the Value box for that field and enter the data that you want to be saved.
Some metadata fields have predefined values that can be changed. After you click or tap inside the Value box, choose the value that you want.
You can also overwrite the metadata fields that are editable with new values. To save your metadata changes, do not forget to click or tap OK. The picture itself doesn't change; only the metadata stored with it.
TIP: If you want to remove some of the metadata stored in a picture, read: How to remove metadata from a file (PDF, JPEG, Word, etc), in Windows 10
Did you succeed in adding metadata to pictures?
Metadata can be useful if you want to keep information about your files. You can find your pictures faster, find out what camera settings were used for the photos you took, when each photo was taken, where, and other information. We like the fact that Windows 10 allows users to view and add metadata to photos without using third-party tools. Try it and tell us how well it worked in the comments below.
