Remove/turn off Exif Data

[vanderbroms]

Is there anyway/anywhere I can turn off Exif Data to be shown when uploading photos into galleries?

You would need to either

1) Disable the EXIF module in PHP

or

2) Edit the templates to remove the data and link to view all the data

There is no setting to turn this off. I will note, however, that geolocation data is stripped automatically if users do not elect to show a map of where the photo was taken (when geolocation data is available).

@bfarber - is there any method of stripping goelocation data from images uploaded as attachments?

Thanks.

We don't explicitly strip geolocation data from the images that are attachments, however other settings may result in this happening regardless (such as the "maximum image size to store" setting).

If you want to scrub your images in advance, I can recommend: http://www.exifpurge.com/

The problem with removing all EXIF data is that photos lose their orientation data and some are rotated 90 degrees.

The photos I wanted to strip down on technical information regarding exif-data belong to my own photo portfolio and I just re-proofed them to not show exif-data. Cause why would I want to make my competition any wiser 

This is done simple via Breezebrowser Pro or PhotoMechanic. I just need to remember to keep doing it in the future
