I would love to see the ability to edit EXIF info on files

David, you do know that there are third party EXIF viewer/editors right? You just want the ability to do it inside Elements?

There are several kinds of metadata in JPGs and RAW files. The camera (EXIF) info is essentially not editable and you risk corrupting the file if you try. Besides, the EXIF info contains potentially valuable info about the image and while you might want to delete it for privacy purposes I'm not sure why you'd want to change it and lose that info.

However, some software (ACDSee Pro is what I use, Bridge can also do it) can be used to edit IPTC info, which includes photographer's name, contact info, location of the shot, etc. That can be incredibly useful for organizing purposes.
