Need a swiss-army-knife-type EXIF remover


Recommended Posts

<p>OK, at this point I can say that I give up. There's a ton of those 'Exif data removers' out there. I'm tired of installing and uninstalling junk on my computer. One of those puppies even had a trojan in it. Can someone please help me out here?<br>

I need a GUI utility that runs on Win7 64-bit OS. I need to be able to remove data fields of my choice. EXIF, IPTC... you know the drill. Having 'presets' of which data to remove would be nice. Batch mode - a must. MUST be able to handle JPEG *and* TIFF - 16-bit per channel, LZW and ZIP compressions. Am I asking for too much? I know I can't be.<br>

Cost: up to around 30 bucks. Free is better.</p>

<p>You could download a demo of Lightroom, do the work fall in love and buy it (or not buy it). But for a month, it will do everything on your wish list. </p>

<p>Just upgraded to LR 4 (for the oh-so-coveted Curves tool). I didn't realize, however, that it can remove *any* data field *of my choice* from the exported files. That's probably because it cannot. Would sure be glad to be wrong.</p>

<p>Between Photoshop and Bridge you can edit quite a few metadata fields, although there are a few that require other programs, but I'm not where I can check which those are.<br>

Click on the image in Bridge, and look at the metadata. The editable ones have a little pencil icon after them.</p>

<p>Wow... Couldn't have dreamt up a better solution than Metadata Wrangler. You know, I was gonna ask if there was a LR plugin but then I went: Nah... you're dreaming, boy.. ain't no such thing.<br>

This Jeffrey's got a lot of neat stuff on his blog. It's a great resource. I wish I found out about it sooner. I gotta send this guy at least ten bucks, because the plugin is awesome.<br>

Thanks to all and especially to Bill. On the scale of 1 to 10, the solution I got would rate 11.</p>
