Is there a way to have EXIF data automatically appear as a comment/note for a photo. I have been entering EXIF info manually (Aperture, Shutter, ISO) as a comment in some of my "practice" photos, as the text shows up right on top of the photo. It helps when when comparing subtle differences in photos when in PSE6 organizer. It's much easier than squinting to see the "Info Palette" for each photo. It is also nice to have this information appear on top of the picture when viewing in full-screen mode. Is there a feature within PSE6 or a plug-in that can generate a custom EXIF comment from EXIF camera data for each photo?

Thanks in advance.

When you are in full screen mode (F11) in PSE6 under the action menu there's an option to Show Properties. If you check that and use the Brief Properties it doesn't take up much room and you can tuck it away in the corner and it is quite easy to read. Makes it easy to use the arrow key to scroll back and forth between images and see what the different EXIF data is. My one gripe is that it doesn't appear to be sticky. You have to check the option again if you close full screen mode and then open it again. Not quite what you want but it works well for me.
