VSCOCAM Photo Data...Where???

January 23, 2015 4:25 PM

Numerous articles mention this as a thing, but my Googlefu is failing and I cannot figure out how to view photo data (ISO, aperature) without posting it to my grid. This is driving me crazy!

Once posted to my grid it will readily display these details. I don't want to do that. I want to check the data while they're in my library or while they're being edited. If exporting them to my camera roll will do this, that's an acceptable last resort...but I can't figure out how to get the data to display there, either. I have an iphone5s and ios8.1. Thanks!

I have seriously not found a way to do this without a third party app on iphone, it's always pissed me off. google seems to confirm this is true, both for VSCOcam and in general.

The grid is one of the few ways to see that. even post ios 8 articles seem to just point you to apps like photo investigator.

There just doesn't seem to be an awesome way to integrate this in to an on-device workflow without app hopping, which is crappy.

I think what articles are bringing up is that you USED to be able to see this stuff, before they messed around with the interface. I swear they've dumbed parts of the app down, just like what happened to instagram over time. Ugh.

Best answer: Double tap the photo in your library to embiggen, then swipe upward. The photo pushes up to reveal aperture, ISO, and preset. If you push further it shows the geolocation.
