There is no spell checker in FotoFusion. If you are concerned about the spelling in your text, you should compose it first in a word processing software (eg. MS Word, Word Perfect, etc.) to check your work. You can cut and paste it into FotoFusion's text editor after you have ensured it is correct.

Tags / EXIF information
The Enhanced and Extreme versions of FotoFusion allow you to extract information about an image and to use that to label the image in various ways.

EXIF information refers to data stored within the image itself, typically written by the camera when a digital photograph is taken. It includes information about when and how the picture was taken, and is therefore useful as identifying information for pictures. Sample uses of EXIF information include:

•	Adding file names beneath pictures to build contact sheets.

•	Superimposing frame numbers on image to make it easier for a customer to describe them to you.

•	Noting the shutter speed of an image to help determine the best settings for future photographs.

•	Adding page number to your project.

To include EXIF information, open the attributes editor for a text frame and click on the Tags button:

This will display a list of supported EXIF tags. Click on the tags to see a full list of tags available, including PAGE NUMBER.

Click an entry in this list to add that tag to the current text contents. The tag will appear as %TAG% in the editor, and be replaced with the actual EXIF information in the collage itself. You can enter tags manually (for example as %Day%) in the text contents if you like.

"Page number" is not encoded within image exif data. When this tag is applied to text-on-canvas, it will display the corresponding page number in a multi-page project (Extreme only). Moving the text frame within a double-page spread will cause the text correctly; inserting or removing pages within a multi-page project will also revise the page number accoridingly.

Custom EXIF Tags
FotoFusion EXTREME allows you to edit a configuration file that defines the EXIF tags available within FotoFusion.

If you choose 'Edit Custom Tags' from the list of EXIF information, you will see the contents of that file open in a text editor:

1. Go to C:\Program files\LumaPix\FotoFusionv4
2. Open ExifTags.xml (in Windows Notepad, for instance)
3. Add a line for each custom tag exported by the importing CD.

For example, here is an existing tag description: <bitspersample><ui>BitsPerSample</ui><property>0x0102</property></bitspersample>
• <bitspersample> is the FotoFusion tag identifier
• <ui> describes how that tag is displayed to the user (e.g. in the “tags>” button list in the text editor)
• <property> indicates the tag ID that FotoFusion will look for within the image file when asked to display this tag

4. When you have edited the file to add an entry per custom tag, save it and restart FotoFusion

5. If it’s working correctly you will see your new custom tag appearing in the list of available exif tags in the text editor, and you will be able to create child text for an image frame that displays the information as text information on your FotoFusion project.
