[X4U] Program to remove personal info tags

[Richard Gilmore]

I haven¹t been following this thread too closely but Photoshop can
edit/delete all these meta tags. You can setup a automated routine under the
Actions palette to remove/edit these tags.

There is a lot of meta data attached to .jpgs most of it digital camera info
such as exposure, date/time, etc...
