How to delete exif info in case you need

ArtphotoasiA · 01-23-2010, 07:49 AM

Ok guys

This is the secret...

1) make the shot
2) make a jpg image from lightroom or whatever
3) make a new empty file of the same size in photoshop
4) copy and paste your image in the new file and save....

ALL THE EXIF INFO WILL BE GONE

Or just use Save for Web and set this option:

Why would you need to delete exif? Sorry if thats a dumb question!

One example, GPS tagged photos.

People have taken iphone shots and posted them up not knowing that it tagged their location, with a map/ directions link.

Another might be to lie about your settings.

or to reduce file size some more.

That's how I do all my cropping anyway...

I occasionally strip the exif. Not often though.

The only reason I ever do is because my name is in it. On photo forums, I don't really care if people know my name, there are other places I would rather not have it visible though.

Let say that personally I think the exif info are really usefull.... but sometimes you may have the need, who know.
People is strange! :-)

Another point is... be carefull with copy and paste.... can have the risk to delete or to modify the exif
