As far as I know it does the same thing and is effective for the majority of uses.

This often includes copyright notice and licensing info. Tampering with that violates the DMCA. And just isn’t nice.

Thanks :)

It will work in imagemagick 6.6.7

I thought that u only write about SEO on ur blog. But after reading this post, I see that u write technical also.

But a question here:
Isn’t this contrary to what you say ” Focus on one niche”.

If you have an photo collection with several hundred thousand images, stripping the meta data from all of them in a GUI would be the kind of work that drives people to develop drinking problems. With a little command line-fu it is a matter of a single command.

But what if on a certain time I’m on Windows? Is there any way to do that (I know there are many ways, I just want to know the most useful and easiest of them)?

Otherwise, subsequent processing passes by exiftool would also process the original image, which would be bad.
