Image information help, please.

How do you remove information encoded in digital images?

Sometimes I'd like to be able to post an image without, say, the GPS coordinates of the thing I photographed, and I havent been able to figure out how to do that.

Anyone here know a simple solution to my problem?

You mean you want to strip the EXIF information, right?

Try one of these: Link

Yes, that, and: How about IPTC? -what kind of data is stored as IPTC photo metadata and do I need to be concerned about that too?

Thanks, again

How about I just PM you next time I run into a problem

ETA:
Tried it -that is a cool little app!

I'm two for two today!

I don't know anything about IPTC, though.

Do you have Picasa? It supposedly can modify (and thus remove) EXIF/IPTC data.

Don't I need to be all wired up to Google to use Picasa?

I mean, the GIMP isn't hardwired to a big ad agency and that little thing you mentioned above isn't either, so those are in line with my choice of sharing less information about myself, not more...

ETA:
Ah! "Picasa attaches IPTC keyword data to JPEG files, but not to any other file format. " and "Since June 2007 Picasa can write geographic coordinates to Exif metadata, thus geotagging an image."

It was just a suggestion. I'm not sure what you could use to strip IPTC data. It doesn't appear to be as widespread as EXIF!

It was just a suggestion.

And apparently a good one: you can edit metadata in picasa!
