John,

Can you explain in baby steps how you get to the "image properties -
summary dialog",

All I have to do, on XP, is to rightclick a file and select "properties"
from the popup menu.

I than get a dialog with two tabs, "General" and "Summary". Clicking the

Ah. I get five tabs - General, File Hashes, Security, Details, and
Previous Versions. (The File Hashes one is because of some utility I've
added that I think Paul put me onto.)

"Summary" tab gives me a "page" with a button at the bottom showing either
" Simple" or "Advanced ". When it shows "Advanced " the page above
it shows textboxes named, from the top, "Title", "Subject", "Author",
"Category", "Keywords" and "Comments".

But ... As you have W7 what you see might be rather different.

I was looking for an image to show you what I see, but could not find
anything better than the below. Just ignore the "Security" tab:

I'm not disbelieving you, just not sure where you're starting from.

From a different version of Windows than you are looking at. :-)

You might be looking at something like this:

Yes, that's what I get (plus the File Hashes as mentioned above).

(notice the "comments" entry directly above the big, red, right-pointing
arrow)

I hadn't realised these were editable! The edit boxes don't appear until
you hover over them!

You can also edit them in the "details pane": in W7, an extra pane
appears across the Explorer window, beneath the folder tree pane on the
left and file list on the right. This pane can be enlarged (to show more
"details") by dragging its divider up. Again, I hadn't realised you
could edit in there!

However: although .jpg does indeed have a Comment field which can be
edited (either in Details under Properties, or in the details pane),
.png doesn't; it has a lot fewer details altogether, and the only
editable one is Date taken. (Do you see a comment field for a .png file
under XP?)

Not in the few I checked. Just all info about the res,color etc.
