While viewing and modifying images inside IrfanView, you may find the need to get more detailed information about the currently-open photo or picture. By clicking "Image" - "Information" or pressing "I", the following information is displayed:

* Image file name

* Image directory

* Full path to the image (file name plus directory)

* Image compression type (GIF, JPG, etc) if applicable

* Image resolution, original size, current size, and print size (from the defined DPI)

* Original and current numbers of colors per image, plus the number of unique colors in an image (this works with true-color images, too!)

* The amount of room the image takes up on the hard drive and memory

* The image's position in the current directory (is it the first image in the directory, the second image, etc.)

* The date and time the image was created

* How long it took to load the image

Depending on the image type, you may have options to read/edit comments or read/edit IPTC tags. These may require IrfanView plug-ins to work properly.
