I have seen Hoggers post about the EXIF data of a posted photo several times. How do you view this info for a posted photo? I'm still relatively new to the site and have somehow managed to miss the instructions. Thanks for your assistance.

You have to download (at least I do) and have software that will bring up the info - Win 7 and 10 (I'm told on the latter) can do it, as well as lots of others.

That is called Megadata.
I use the following EXIF reader
It is no charge

I asked the wrong question. When I double-click the image, I get an enlarged version of the photo which allows me to see the details much easier. I am using an Apple MacPro built in 2012, running the lastest OS. I don't know how to download the photo to my desktop where I could inspect the metadata in any of several applications I use to edit my photos. What I should have asked is how to download the image to my desktop. Thanks for the speedy reply to my original questions.

If the photo has a "download" link then click it and it will go wherever you have told your Mac to put downloads. Once there, open it with Preview, then Command+I. I attached one for you to practice on. It's just a grab shot with my phone - nothing special.

Yes, there are other apps that can do it, too.

If there is no "download" link then either I don't know how or it can't be done.

Not quite...if the photo has a download link, click it and the full size photo will open in a the browser, right click in the image and select save as...tell it where to save and name it..then you can open in any application.
