expose Image cards metadata+discussion

Aren't there fields for attribution, description and license *in* image files themselves? Maybe Wagn could just expose those in automatically-generated cards. And if you edit the cards, it edits the file!

Images do carry automatic metadata, although I believe it's usually just the camera it was taken with, resolution and other similar data. Who took the picture, the license (such as Creative Commons), and how to legally attribute the work are human created. The only problem is you don't want this data to be transcluded along with the picture when inserting it in another card.

Something to research (metadata in image files). Whatever such stuff there is, we could expose card metadata in cards to show it, overriding the relevant cards in the above solution, or...?.
