EXIF info

[brucet]

Is there an easy and 'fool proof' way of stripping EXIF info from jpegs in PSPx6? Sometimes I get no details and yet other times details are left available.

Yes.

I don't know if there is a built in command inside of PSP you can just click. But there is a script command called "DeleteEXIF" that you can run. It will delete everything except for the author name and copryright info.

If you want to delete it all, all. You will need a different tool. There are a few meta-data strippers out there.

Just copy and paste this into a text file. Name it DeleteEXIF.pspscript Should work version 9 up..maybe. I only tested it in X6.

Code: Select all

from JascApp import *

def ScriptProperties():
    return {
        'Author': u'',
        'Copyright': u'',
        'Description': u'',
        'Host': u'PaintShop Pro',
        'Host Version': u'9.00'
        }

def Do(Environment):
    # EnableOptimizedScriptUndo
    App.Do( Environment, 'EnableOptimizedScriptUndo', {
            'GeneralSettings': {
                'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default, 
                'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match, 
                'Version': ((9,0,0),1)
                }
            })

    # Delete EXIF
    App.Do( Environment, 'DeleteEXIF', {
            'GeneralSettings': {
                'ExecutionMode': App.Constants.ExecutionMode.Default, 
                'AutoActionMode': App.Constants.AutoActionMode.Match, 
                'Version': ((9,0,0),1)
                }
            })

What is the error?

If you want to delete it all, all. You will need a different tool. There are a few meta-data strippers out there.

I can recommend the ExifToolGUI, which (not surprisingly) is a graphical user interface to the ExifTool commandline application:
http://u88.n24.queensu.ca/~bogdan/
From that page you can download the ExifTool and the ExifToolGUI.

Not only does it have the "Delete All Metadata" option, but it's also an excellent tool for looking at all the metadata of an image....

LeviFiction I picked up 'script' error when I copied and pasted to a text file. I now know where the error is/was.

Thanks.
