Removing face tags

[Tom Cunningham]

I want to remove face tags from a file. I tried the command "exiftool -xmp-region:all= <file.jpg>" but exiftool reports 0 image files updated. What am I missing? Thanks.

"xmp-region:all" isn't a tag group.


Try
exiftool -XMP-mwg-rs:all= -XMP-MP:all= -XMP-acdsee-rs:all= -XMP-iptcExt:ImageRegion*= /path/to/files/

This removes, in order, MWG regions, Microsoft regions, ACDSee regions, and IPTC Extension regions.

Thanks, StarGeek, that did the trick.
