Great program! I'm an EXIF Metadata newbie and just need to remove all metadata from digital photos that are shared. EXIFTOOL has removed some of the data in Properties but not all. Perhaps that is all to be expected. Any thoughts will be appreciated.
Using WIN7; running EXIFTOOL from Command Prompt w/Admin privilege
(exiftool –all= name.jpg)
Results with JPEG photo produced with Canon Power Shot G12:
PROPERTIES Original After EXIFTOOL
Description 1 entry Blank
Origin 2 entries Blank
Image 9 entries 6 entries
Camera 10 entries Blank
Adv Photo 3 entries Blank
File 9 entries 9 entries
After processing, properties reports 15 entries that were not removed.
FWIW, EXIFTOOL did remove entries from Image and Camera that were left by the Win7 tool at the bottom of the Properties box.
Is this to be expected?
TIA... Bill
Hi Bill,
With JPG images, -all= will remove all of the metadata. The only things left will be filesystem and image data. All files have filesystem information. And if you delete all the image data too, you will have no file left.
