I totally agree. This could be a little tricky though since we'll have to bind the mouse event listeners to a parent of the preview div, e.g. `body`. I'll play...

Good point. I'm not familiar with reading EXIF and it will require some research. [This library](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image) seems to provide a good solution and I'll need to look into that.

@joesolly Thanks for the links! They are very helpful. I was hesitant to add a whole library like this as a dependency since it has a lot of code that...

@leifdenby Good work! Thanks for sharing. Those of you who don't mind adding [`JavaScript-Load-Image`](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Load-Image) as a dependency, check out his solution!

@fejstan Thanks so much for sharing your work!
