Title: Copying All Data from one JPG to Another
Post by: photo3799 on April 08, 2025, 09:11:53 AM
I have search the forums for a solution and some of them worked however I am unable to copy long but when i use the exiftool -All:All= -tagsfromfile it is leaving out all of the ICC_Profile, JFIF and MPF Data.  Is there a way to transfer this data.

ExifTool doesn't write MPF information, and preserving it when deleting everything else would be problematic.

To delete everything but ICC_Profile and JFIF, use this command:

exiftool -all= --icc_profile:all --jfif:all FILE

Alternatively, you can delete the three main groups

exiftool -IPTC:all= -EXIF:All= -XMP:All= /path/to/files/
