Hi,
I am trying to remove all the information form a jpeg image, in the properties section, details section, there is an option to remove all properties and personal information. However I can not seem to remove the info, it is an image form my own camera which has been downloaded on the same pc.
Any ideas?
Thanks for any help
 
If your processing software has the Save For Web option, use that as it strips out all the EXIF data.
 
Hi Richard,
That removes all the camera info, but still the PC name and info is still there. In windows if you right click, properties, details there is an option to remove info but I am dammed if I can get it to work.
 
Don't think you can remove the actual properties of the file, only the EXIF info.... if there was nothing like date/time stamp, etc, certain programs wouldn't be able to work with or index the file....

I've got File Tweak, and even that can't change/remove things like the PC name, etc....

I misunderstood, I thought it was the EXIF you wanted to remove.
 
The best way to go with this would be to copy it into a web photo editor like pxlr - copy and paste the photo into a new image on there and then save it to their server. Then you could send him an anonymous email with the photos linked to their location on that server.
 
AMac, unfortunately the Windows built-in feature does not remove metadata, but only corrupts EXIF in a some special way. And I personally prefer this batch EXIF remover for the purpose of deleting photographic metadata. The good, that it lets to selectively process EXIF in a batch mode, and handles not only EXIF, but also Adobe XMP, ICC profiles, etc. That bad for all of us, that this app is paid.

Kerioak, by the way, if you will copy&paste your image in Photoshop, or in the ACDSee editor, a result will anyway contain some basic metadata inside a file.
 
In photoshop make a new document the same size as your photo, copy and paste the photo into it and now when you save as there will be no exif...
 
Edsport, if you do that, there will be these EXIF fields (for instance):

Camera
Orientation Upper Left
X resolution 72/1
Y resolution 72/1
Resolution unit inches
Software Adobe Photoshop CS3 Windows
Date/time 02/10/2011 21:08:12
Image
Colorspace sRGB
Pixel X dimension 627
Pixel Y dimension 597
Click to expand...

Besides, the result will contain Adobe XMP and IPTC metadata re-created from scratch.
