Hi:

I am trying to erase ALL -Keywords form a image
I use this but it does not do the job, It leaves what it was there untouched

exiftool.exe -Keywords=""  myimage.jpg

What would be the proper sentence?

Hi Emilo,

You've got the right command.  Why do you say the keywords aren't removed?  Did you check with ExifTool?

- Phil
...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

Hi Phil:

Yes I was using Exifttols to check and it did not do the
job...

I have used another computer and works well, I
have returned to the old computer change ' with "
and now works...

I will work more on it, and if I get problems I will try to
narrow it down and inform.

Thanks

Emilio

You can avoid the problem with quotes by removing them entirely:

exiftool -keywords= FILE

Getting rid of the quotes is a big improvement.

Thanks
