How to remove Exif data using terminal

I want to remove Exif data from images using Terminal
I've googled and cant find anything
There's a Linux command, but nothing fro Terminal - or at least I cant find
Thanks
Omar

@Frank Caggiano, thanks. i only want to remove and not do anything else. exiftool allows u to write as well
my ideal solution: not to install anything
that's something that comes from windows: fearing that installing things will clog up ur system. lol
i need imagemagik for other image editing anyway
thanks for the replies

How To Remove Exif Data

Hi,
Can you tell me how to remove all exif data, tags, etc from a photo? And, how to batch remove? Do you have to add a plug in?
Thanks,
Barb

Sorry, I thought you were asking a follow-on question. It didn't make any sense that you would ask about a plug-in if you were already told how to do it in Photoshop.
Frankly, it doesn't make all that much sense to use Photoshop at all for the task.
Have a look at the freeware viewer called IrfanView. I believe it can be set to batch process a group of images, and save them back out without metadata.

SUDO command - How to remove a User using Terminal?

So I just inherited from my coworker's MacBook Pro. I then decided to transfer all of my files and realized that the root folder was still on his name. I changed the User's name in "System Preferences" but that did not change the root folder's name. I then went to Terminal and tried to change the folder's name using the "mv OldFoldersName NewFoldersName" and the prompt said Permission denied. I then used "sudo mv OldFoldersName NewFoldersName". After restarting my computer, all the files were gone and I landed on a "LION first time USE" type of Desktop. All my files are gone and terminal shows me two users' names under /Users/ => OldUser and NewUser.
What can I do to recover my old files? What can I do to repair my Mistake and only have one User?
Thank you very much for your help.

If your adapt at using Terminal, why don't you hook up a blank external drive, command s boot into Single user root mode,
ls /Users
then cd to that directory or mv it to the external drive?
Any why are you messing with Terminal and on your only copy of your files?
Kind of risky right?
Nearly everything on a Mac has been figured out and a safe GUI ability to allow users to do things, there is no need to risk the dangers of the Terminal and unknown under workings.
But now you have to revert to your backup and start all over like John said.

How is the Raw data used in iPhoto. I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto.

How is the Raw data used in iPhoto? I currently shoot both jpeg and raw and import them both into iPhoto. What do I gain by collecting Raw data?
Thanks

You get more parameters for making adjustments to the image. This is not really an iPhoto question but more a general photography one. In rather simple terms here's how a digital camera works:
You expose an image. A lot of data is gathered in by the sensor. But it's just a bug lump of data and not very useful in that form.
In cameras that shoot jpeg that mass of data is interpreted/processed into an actual image, and the image is stored in a jpeg file. (that's a process broadly analogous to developing a film). The decisions that go into making that interpretation are all made by an engineer somewhere, back when the camera was developed.
If you shoot Raw, then what you do is take that mass of data, and rather than working to the decisions made by that engineer, you develop the shot - you run the digital darkroom.
Why would you do this? Take on all this extra work? Well one of three reasons: a: you think you can do a better job than that engineer. b: you just prefer the result you get when you develop yourself or c: you're a hopeless shooter and raw means you have more options to fix the mistakes you made in the camera. (That's why I do it.)
Here endeth the two dollar tour. So, basically, if you're happy with what your camera produces in Jpeg then there's really no need to shoot Raw.
There's no need at all to shoot Raw+Jpeg as iPhoto creates a jpeg preview when you import, so you're just wasting space.

How to insert the data using matrix

Hi
All how to insert the data using matrix feild
plz help me
   thanks
    Loy

Hi Loy,
The best way to fill an entire matrix is to use a DBDatasource, here is some sample code:
Dim oForm As SAPbouiCOM.Form
oForm = SBO_App.Forms.Item("YourFormTypeID")
        '1. Add a DBDataSource to the form
        oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Add("OUSR")
        Dim oColumnDBS As SAPbouiCOM.Column
        Dim oColumnUDS As SAPbouiCOM.Column
        Dim i As Integer
        Dim GenEdt As SAPbouiCOM.EditText
        Dim oMatrix As SAPbouiCOM.Matrix
        Dim oColumns As SAPbouiCOM.Columns
        Dim oDBDataSource As SAPbouiCOM.DBDataSource
        oMatrix = oForm.Items.Item("7").Specific
        oColumns = oMatrix.Columns
        '2. DBDataSource: Binding a field / alias of the table to a column
        oColumnDBS = oColumns.Item("V_1")
        oColumnDBS.DataBind.SetBound(True, "OUSR", "U_NAME")
        '3. getting the data sources bound to the form
        oDBDataSource = oForm.DataSources.DBDataSources.Item("OUSR")
        oMatrix.Clear()
        ' Querying the DB Data source
        oDBDataSource.Query()
        ' Adding the data to the matrix
        oMatrix.LoadFromDataSource()
When you want to fill a specific field use :
GenEdt = oMatrix.Columns.Item("V_2").Cells.Item(1).Specific
                GenEdt.String = "Hello"

Where can I give feedback regarding Aperture? I'd love to see the ability to removes EXIF data when exporting, especially to social networks.

Robert,
For any normal Export, simply cilick the list of option and further click on Edit. There deselect to include Metadata, and there will be no EXIF data exported. But no copyright info either.
The option already exists to do what you want. Once a normal Export has deselected that, I believe even exports via plugin for say FB will not have it either. I tested with an export to SmugMug after deselecting in an earlier ordinary export, and EXIF info was not transmitted.

How to remove blank data from a byte array

Hi All,
How to remove blank data from a byte array. Suppose I created a byte array as byte[] b = new byte[8192] and i read the data as inputstream.read(b). If the data that has been received is only 1000 bytes length, how to find out how much data has been read or how to delete that blank 7192 bytes of data?
Thanking you,
Regards,
Shankar.

1) Always try to sidestep this by allocating only the necessary amount of space required...
2) If 1 is not possible, you will have to index byte for byte how much data was read into the array which
denotes reading byte for byte... not ideal as this is relatively slow...
Are you reading from a file?

How to increment the date using sequence?

30-jan-10This doesn't look like a task where a sequence is usefull.
A sequence is a number generator that guarantees that multiple sessions will all get a different number.
Even if the sequence is fetched for differnent users (=sessions) that the same time.
This in turn means that the value returned by the sequence will depend on actions done in other sessions.
Typical task: create a new unique primary key number. The number MUST be different in all sessions.
In your case I guess that the same logic should work regardless of the session that executes it. So you need a "number generator" that works indepented from other session values. There are several ways to create such a numbered list.
The basic idea is to create a select statement that simply returns as many rows as you need. And then use ROWNUM as the number generator. Examples how to do this have already been given. LEVEL works also in hierarchical queries.
if my interpretation of your requirement is right, then all answers that really used a sequence seem to be wrong. Even if the output looks ok. At best they are just slow. To create new sequence values is a complex task and the database needs a little time for all the synchonization issues that come with it. At worst it will have gaps in the sequence because other sessions used the same value while the numbers were created.

Removing Exif Data with out using "Save for Web"

I have very large files. I need to remove thw EXIF data. I do not want to use "save for web" because it impacts the quality and size (recompresses) of the files. I need the files to remain un changed except for the removal of the EXIF data.
I have a large number of files to do this to.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Thanks Tai Lao for the shortcuts.
I have RAW files to start. I "process" them and convert to jpg. Then send them to the client. But there are times the client doesn't need to be able to view the EXIF data, soooo....
1. I'm working on seting up an action to convert the processed RAW files to TIFF first,
2. then, using the shortcuts you listed, set up an action to take the tiff files through the process to strip them of the EXIF data and,
3. then convert the resulting "EXIF-less" TIFF files to jpg - also using an action. I'm going to try to build one action to do the whole thing but so far I'm still experimenting... I have to keep the file names...
Anyway, I'll post my findings.
Thanks
To whomever left the info about Exiftool - Thanks for that info as well. I'll check it out but is seems a bit too complicated for large numbers of files.

How to insert EXIF date time data on photo using Photoshop CS5.5

Is there any script or function available in photoshop CS5.5 which can help me in inserting date time from EXIF onto the photograph.
An automated solution which can do multiple images at once will be preferable.

Before proceeding further, it is to be highlighted that the version being referred to is Photoshop CS5 Extended which is actually Photoshop Version 12.1 and is a part of Adobe Master Collection CS5.5. A screenshot of the version information is attached below for information.
Hence, I dont understand the concern expressed by many about the lowest version eligible for scripting being available in the product.
My version is in effect 12.1 and not 7 or 8.
Accordingly someone may advise on what script to use for inserting the EXIF data onto the image. I also want that the positioning of the text is predetermined and same for a batch of images required to be processed. I dont want to fix the position of text for each individual image.

How do you remove EXIF data from a video shot on an iPhone5s?

I'm trying to remove location metadata from a video of my daughter before posting to YouTube and can't figure it out. I tried opening the video in Adobe Premiere and Bridge and both don't display the location data for some reason, they fields are just blank. But I can see the locaction data if opened in Quicktime or iPhoto, but neither program allows you to edit the EXIF data for some reason. And any app I find seems to only work on photos and not videos. Any thoughts? I'd love to upload this video without revealing our exact location. Thanks.
