Nikon cameras stores the focus point that was in focus and the exposure was taken. This would be extremely valuable to see for a sports/action/wildlife photographer.

Poor old Aperture had a feature whereby the points that achieved focus could be overlain on the photo. I found this a really worthwhile feature as a means of quickly assessing whether focus had been achieved where it was intended, e.g. on the eyes or the bridge of the nose in portraits, or to give an idea of depth of field across the subject. Has anybody heard any rumours/rumblings about the possibility of this being added to Lightroom?

To the software creators of PS CC2015: Nikon and Canon software makes it possible to view the point where we focused in a RAW photo; would be very useful to add that feature to CC2015.
Some photographs come out out of focus (like when we focus in the eyes of a person but that was not the focus point chosen by the camera). That problem can be avoided if PS CC shows us where the focus point was selected.

Just a question: how can be deleted the picture included in the topic? Google continue to show the picture in the results.

Status update: usability improved for multi-monitor Mac users, and Chris is working on improving Windows version too (primarily for multi-monitor environment).

Finally!! Glad to see this plugin come out and I would say it is spot on in terms of the information it captures. I really like the depth of field information as well. Great job!

Would be nice if the information could be presented within LR to make a more integrated experience but I'm assuming that would not be possible.

Anyway, really like the plugin and plan on using it often.
