JPG: remove all metadata except IFD0 + original date and time

[da1k]

Hello,

How can I remove from JPG files all metadata except IFD0 part (orientation, author, subject etc) and DateTimeOrginal and CreateDate from ExifIFD section?

Try
exiftool -ext jpg -all= -TagsFromFile @ -IFD0:all -DateTimeOriginal -CreateDate /path/to/files/

Edit: Fixed typo

It's almost perfect. It keeps original date and time but removes subject and author which I wish to have. Rest metadata is gone

EDIT: I found how to do it

Code Select Expand

exiftool -ext jpg -all= -TagsFromFile @ -IDF0:all -XPSubject -XPAuthor -Copyright -Artist -DateTimeOriginal -CreateDate -ColorSpace /path/to/files/
do the job

@StarGeek thank you very much for help

best regards,
da1k

Ooops, typo on my part.  Change
-IDF0:all
into
-IFD0:all

Of course, you can always copy individual tags as you found out.
