I have a directory for all my UHH posts and I have the copy of my Roofer photo I posted. I also downloaded the version you posted which is sized 1/25 the megabytes of mine----dull in appearance and obviously extremely degraded. Earlier you put a purple fringe on and called that from my camera. You are lower than a snake--------(you cannot comprehend the superiority of the FoveonX3 sensor---get real!--------!!!!!)

I have not once made trouble for honest photographic information. I have only countered the snarky degrading of helpful information I have added to various threads which has been done by a handful at every turn during this entire year---including even degrading a photo I posted, dividing the file size by 1/25th, adding artifacts and then claiming my camera was no good. Is there ANYTHING LOWER THAN THAT for a photo opinion site?-----No---I will not leave in disgust. I will stay in disgust and call out the spoilers.--------------ew

OHHHH? You seem to make it your business to counter--with eveything I post?----?

FijitimeGrahame, Why do you never reply to a full message, but merely pick and choose a sentence?-----

______________________(reply)
Hail Grahame, whomever you are----"You definitely achieve the last word on anything and everything." And that is always your goal--not photographic education. Just who are you though? Are you an AI bot in reality? (But an AI photo bot would know more about photography, though.) Probably. I would bet on that.--------------

__________________________(reply)
I give up----I declare you have gotten the last idiotic word in! Are you now satisfied for this round? Enough-already!---?-----------

The topic is answered---but, of course is not closed to the likes of you who wants five more pages of back and forth drivel who and maybe cannot sleep at night?-------------------

So who is the nut who wants another five pages on this closed topic?---Is he "SuperflyTNT" or JimJordan or Grayhame on the isele of Fiji-----who come out and lurk at night and stir the pot?--------

______________________________(reply)
Grahame----your snarky endless carrying on on this threat is merely you didn't like I gave the best answer right off the bat----well before you probably even read the thread. Maybe you need more sleep?-----ew

For what I hope is the final reply to your badgering-----IF YOU READ THE ORIGINAL POST----it said file types plus gif files. I was addressng the "all other files." This question was not about gif files except as an added type. I don't use animated giff files or 8bit low color files, and have no cameras which prepare "gif files."-----------So I originally tentatively gave my solution and then upon your badgering followed though and proved my method for both JPEGs and TIFF files in removing the Exif data---WHICH WAS THE ORIGINAL POSTER'S QUESTION. Poster--("--- I would prefer something that will handle a batch of files including GIFs. Thanks,")--------------WELL NOW---after your badgering, once again----I converted my test file with the Exif data to a gif file----AND YES ALL THE Exif WAS GONE----So--my "shoot from the hip" ORIGINAL POST---Upon reading the original question---proves to work when converting to JPEG, TIFF and GIF in my viewer. I used my ACDsee-Pro to test with a gif convertion though, since gif was not on the conversion list in Classic.------------------------EW

I though I was trying to be "polite to you" Grahame--Fiji--Smugmug.

But you are indeed a broken record. I don't use freeware viewers or filing programs. But I am assuming those work like what I do use---the line of ACDsee programs---Classic and their Pro2. I suggested that the technique of removal when compressing with any FREEWARE program might be the same. I left the google search for freeware to the originator or even to you smarty-pants. I merely mentioned the procedure which worked with my viewer. GOT THAT? I read and answered in a responsible way from my first response which I even termed: "This is shooting from the hip." I mapped out what worked, but was not freeware, although now over 20 years old, I bet you would not need to pay ADOBE prices like some love to fork over for ACDsee-Classic?

______________________________(reply)
First off, I though your question was removing Exif from Tiff files. So---you want now----animated Giff files?----? I don't have cameras which make animated Giff files. Do you? Since Giffs were not in any still photo discussion, I simply though you were referring to Tiff files?

With your egging, once again an hour or so back I tried the compression and conversion from a Tiff file resulting from an Olympus Raw file. At 80%, the Tiff file of 35megabytes became a JPEG of 4.5O megabytes WITHOUT exif properties to exhibit. Again that conversion in ACDsee-Classic and Exif reading in ACDsee-Pro. SO MASTER---I am again at your service---is there any more proof YOU DESIRE. Or finally is this over----Graham-Smugmug-Fiji? (Just what do you desire being called? Are you Mr. Grahame on Figi? Or do you like Smugmug?----------------ew

_______________________(reply)
What next Figitime Smugmug? ACDsee-Classic instantly can change to Tiff or from Tiff to JPEGs and compress. Do you want me to check out---Tiff to JPEGs or JPEGs with Exif to Tiff or Tiff to JPEGs and compress.-----Just why would you want me to do that? I will if it will help you in any way. But do you use the ACDsee-Classic or the ACDsee-Pro? I shoot raw and PP, exiting in either Tiff or JPEG. Since my raw files are 50megabytes of data (when from Sigma-SD1), even my exiting files are large.---------------ew

____________________(reply)
Again you are correct. I did not declare a universal pattern or result. I merely moved a group of my own photos with Exif showing ----ran those JPEGs through the convert set to 80% and the Exif disappeared. Maybe your EXIF won't disappear doing the same thing with your selected viewer and file organizer as happened in my ACDsee-Classic, which I have used for over twenty years.-------------ew (ACDsee-Classic is a small program whereby you can easily open it many times at once and view and shift files between partitions and directories. I usually have drive letters open up to "R" since my old Toughbook has four USB ports plus a card slot.)--------------ew
