<description><![CDATA[Thought I have no problem to spend $16 on a program that I may feel is a quick or easy help to me, with every Window OS you already have this power. If you open any image with window's limited graphic program i.e. "Paint" that you see under Accessories, then save the image, all the EXIF is erased. Well you need to open one picture at a time rather than a batch but still it is there.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[#26, "A hacker can easily search your computer for photo, because most people put their photos in the shared folder."

I would never put my photos in a "typical" folder, just as I don't put my docs in the "My Documents" folder -- easy targets for hackers yes, but even more, VIRUSES.

Also, "You should never store your picture on your internal hard drive or online anyway, you should always put them on a portable external hard drive or other external device and lock it in your safe."

Useful advice perhaps -- but currently my photos have only exposure details contained inside the Exif -- unfortunately I don't own a camera with a GPS built in.  If I did, then I would obviously WANT to keep that -- so I know the exact spot in China, or wherever, I took the shot (so I can go back again).  I agree that shots in my locale and even home would also have the GPS details -- and a hacker COULD make use of that.  But gosh, it is even easier than that, and the "danger" is right now -- what about all the copies of  LETTERS I have written, which have my exact ADDRESS at the top?  They are all over my hard disk.  If I am going to worry that a robber might hang around some idyll in China, on the CHANCE I might return there some day....  Well, if you take it that far, in future we'll all have to write "anonymous" letters to shops, service centres, suppliers, government departments -- and friends.

I can see some utility to this programme, but there are many other ones which are free -- I'll get one when I need one.  And make sure it is more than just a "one-trick pony" that this one appears to be.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I already have version 1.6.

Installed this version 1.7 over the top and I am still left with 1.6

Anyone know the difference between 1.6 and 1.7 ? 

The prog does what it says on the tin. The problem is that lots of people are not aware that their photos have any hidden data in them.

I wonder if the prog name was changed to something like photo  hidden  data cleaner , might get more sales.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I see 7 people atm dislike my comment #23, so here is one for you, can you please tell me of a freeware Exif Cleaner that has every Option, and the ease of use ExifCleaner has?  Because all of the freeware ones listed here in comments Dont! some of them I cant even find the option to clean exif data, so why all the trouble just to clean some exif data with some photo manager when I can use ExifCleaner and do the job I need to do in seconds.

Have a Nice Day!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I do not have a problem with single use software. It's nice if it can be integrated, but often we take what we get.

It is a well-written  program. One improvement I suggest is if it could examine photos on-screen  without downloading.

The information supplied is good, I do not see any GPS info in the photo even those I took with a camera that has GPS. Maybe, there is stuff I am missing?

I am sure one day it will be useful so its a keep for me.


Some cameras are capable of recording the GPS location and inclination, useful for identifying where a photo was taken when one misfiles it.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I've been using this software since the previous GOTD so I was able to compare it with several similar free software programs in the meantime.  I found this program to be better than all that I tested.  Some of the other programs only do batch removal, other programs just do what they think is best etc.  This program allows you to choose what you want to remove etc.

I found the help people to be very cooperative and answer emails quickly.

I particularly like that it removes the GPS info.  All you have to do is post a picture of your house with the GPS info intact on a social site and mention that you are going on vacation and you could be in for a surprise when you get home.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[# gerrymar 
you are wrong. As any professional photographer will tell you. professionals use Adobe Photoshop. And when you change a picture resolution and other parameters in Photoshop and save a copy, it will strip all the EXIF data away and instead you will have "new Data" which contains Photoshop parameters but is useless for anything but Adobe Applications.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I went to exifdata.com and uploaded a few photos taken by me with a fairly recent-model camera and my camera phone, and some by friends and probably a pro photographer. I didn't see gps data in any of them. ???]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There is a <strong>free</strong> program called Photoscape that I love and is definitely one of my favourite go-to programs that can delete ALL the exif information.

I guess this would be handy if it didn't matter if there wasn't any exif info on your photos for say posting online etc. socially, however if you wanted to leave only technical details for say posting on a photography site then today's program would be better I guess.

Photoscape is such a comprehensive program though that's why I wanted to mention it.

You can see more about it here:
http://www.photoscape.org/ps/main/screenshot.php

and here:
http://www.rgdot.com/bl/2009/04/20/photoscape-for-all-your-image-editing-needs/

You can just <i>view</i> the exif info in Photoscape two ways;
(a) with the Viewer, double click on a photo, then right click, make sure "show photo EXIF" is selected to see exif info without the explanatory tags.

(b) or with the Editor, on the bottom right, click Menu, then Exif Info, a window pops up with the explanatory tags for all the exif info.

To delete all the exif info with Photoscape go to Viewer, right click on the photo, and select Delete Exif info (remember to back up your photos if you still want them with exif info somewhere else).

Thank you to the professional photographers' advice (@28 Tranmontane, and @31 gerrymar) re. how compressing photos deletes exif info, good to know :-)]]></description>
