Posted February 15, 20187 yr Is there anyway/anywhere I can turn off Exif Data to be shown when uploading photos into galleries?
February 15, 20187 yr 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).

Thanks.
February 19, 20187 yr 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).
February 20, 20187 yr If you want to scrub your images in advance, I can recommend: http://www.exifpurge.com/
February 20, 20187 yr The problem with removing all EXIF data is that photos lose their orientation data and some are rotated 90 degrees.
February 22, 20187 yr Author 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
