Is there a program that tells you exposure settings for a picture?

Like F stop, ISO, exposure time, etc.

I think that is asking a lot.  Pretty sure it cannot be done.  There is no way for you to know by simply viewing a photo what the aperture, shutter speed, or ISO setting was selected.  Would be nice, no doubt, but it cannot be done that I am aware of.

Ukraine,

If it's a digital camera then some cameras will show you that info when you look at it on the camera.  Some even have a mode that shows you a histogram but it's not all that common.  If you're talking about just taking a photo and scanning it or something then no way!  A pro photographer might be able to tell you how to recreate it though and suggest the f stop etc...

Ukraine Train, there might be, but I also have a table at home that tells you how to calculate exposures in your head without a meter.  Send me a PM and I'll find the link for you tonight.  

Nevermind, I found it: http://www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm

I found a program that does what I want. I did a search for EXIF data and found this: http://www.eggvision.com/english/picturebetter.html

If you're running Windows XP,  EXIF data in photos saved to your computer can be viewed under the file's properties.  Right click it, go to properties, click the summary tab, and then the advanced button.  As long as the EXIF data is still intact on the file, it should be there.

And, if you happen to be using Firefox, you can download the FiXF Extension which will let you view the EXIF data of photos posted on the internet.

You didn't specify digital, silly...

Haha sorry, I should have. I was just thinking that by the time I have kids they won't know what film photography even is.
