When I edit my pictures I sometimes mix and mask as a layer in photoshop with other layers from files that do not have any metadata. When I merge these files into the final product all my metadata (camera model, lens, settings, focal length, GPS location) are all missing. I would like to just take the metadata from my original picture and paste it into my processed picture but I can't seem to find a way to do it. Do you know of a way? Nasim,

I will call it the OACNVS method: Open the image (Ctrl-O) select all (Ctrl-A) copy (Ctrl-C) Open a new blank image (Ctrl-N) Paste (Ctrl-V) Save the new image (Ctrl-S) With this procedure, only the image content is copied, not the EXIF data. For a small low-res photograph I had, the jpeg file size changed from 22 kb to 12 kb. There is an easier way to remove the EXIF data using any image software (e.g. MS Paint will do it).

This is on a Mac.It won't associate with a file that's not an application, or so it seems. Same experience as Ethan, #31, except that it would not work on 3.6 either. This is on a Mac.

It won’t associate with a file that’s not an application, or so it seems.

When I use it on lightroom 4's post-processing option it did not work. But, it will work on lightroom 3.6's post-processing option.Did you found the same problem too with Lightroom 4.0? Thank you. Hi,

I’ve tried exiftool 8.86 and it only works when using it on command prompt.
When I use it on lightroom 4′s post-processing option it did not work.
But, it will work on lightroom 3.6′s post-processing option.

Did you found the same problem too with Lightroom 4.0?
Thank you.

It is a paid application, but it is quite accurate in dealing with various metadata types, has a nice graphical interface for those who dislike command lines. It is integrated with the Windows Explorer shell and lets to preview EXIF fields before actual deletion. We also developed an utility for removing EXIF, ExifCleaner.

Another point that makes your article VERY VERY important. When you syncronizes a Win folder with IPAD, IPhoto orders the photos by the EXIF creation date, instead of Windows file name OR Windows file creation date. That make photos on IPhoto a liitle mess. So, if I delete EXIF data, Sync/Iphoto uses Windows creation date to order the photos. I Iam doing a small programs that: 1- delete exifs using your instructions for EXIFTools 2- re-dates Windows files creation+modification dates so that they becom in sync with file names. item 2 above is ready and working, I'm now working into include EXFtools to it.
