Nearly a year after unveiling a new, more photo-centric look for Flickr, Yahoo is about to add yet another slick visual upgrade to the site — showing you what device a picture was taken on.
Now when a user posts a photo to the site, the camera's EXIF (exchangeable image file format) data won't just appear as a text description of the camera's model and lens type, it will also include a slick line drawing of the uploaded information.

The early look at the site's next major interface upgrade was revealed on Friday by Flickr's Scott Schiller on Twitter.

Flickr's new graphics will offer minimalist style drawings of the 40 top cameras, including everything from top tier DSLRs to the iPhone, as well as detailed illustrations of the device's lens type.
According to Schiller, if the new graphics system doesn't have an existing image for a particular camera, it will default to a general device class (e.g. DSLR, smartphone, etc.).

However, if you check the site today, you may not see the new EXIF data displayed on currently available images. "The new Flickr EXIF data design is in beta and currently only available to some users," a Yahoo spokesperson told Mashable.
