Does anyone know how to remove the 'OwnerName' field from JPG EXIF info without resorting to using a hex editor? I have my name saved into my Canon S2 IS. Sure I can set it back to a blank name in the camera but I have a ton of JPG's where the 'OwnerName' field is already there. All the EXIF editors I have tried don't let me edit that field. EXIFTools might do it but it's a complex command line tool to learn. I just want to kill that one field and retain all the other EXIF info.

Image very related (Cropped from a 12x zoom at the beach). Oh yeah I hex edited this one ;)

I don't have many of those kinds of shots. But since it's 4chan I thought I would add some loli humour. But for everyday shots I'd like to upload here and other places, I want to remove my name from existing JPG's. Preferably using a batch mode. Otherwise I will have to hex edit manually which is tedious.

irfanview has batch processing mode, and in the jpeg save options you can select weather you want to remove exif tags.

not exactly what was asked for. i hope it helps

no.

ontopic: looks like you'll have to resort to command-line EXIF tool + script, or use a script for the HEX editing

Here, with this tool, you can post to your loli fetish delight without having your identity exposed.

BTW, there is a GUI for EXIFTools.

$ exiftool -OwnerName= dir/

Fixed, such people tend to have a fear for any command line interface, but no reason to call them retarded because not everyone is an expert with Bash shell

I understand some command line stuff coming originally from a DOS OS but the nix stuff I can't get to grips with. The above command means little to me that way it is there and with Windows long directory names/paths and their crap command prompt it does not work very easily in that fashion.

OP here. I figured it out. No really I did. It works just using 'exiftool -OwnerName=AnyNameYouLike \foldername' I'm just trying to figure out how to do it with long folder names and not creating a backup of the old files.

Try to put them in quotes, like "C:\My Photos".

Add -overwrite_original option.
