Oh dear, so it is! Sorry for that duff info. There are a number of other ways of editing out the EXIF though. Here are a few links to some. None as easy as a script in iView, perhaps I shall mention that to them. <http://johnst.org/sw/exiftags/> Exiftags - I think this is also read only. <http://www.qdev.de/?location=mac/exifrenamer> Exifrenamer - just for re naming photos by date data. <http://www.hugsan.com/EXIFutils/index.html> EXIFutils - You will need command line skils, "The EXIFutils are a set of command line utilities that extract, add, remove, copy, and replace EXIF and IPTC data from JPEG, TIFF, and other image file formats" If you know PHP, <http://uk.php.net/exif> I'm sure there are more if you Teoma about. <http://s.teoma.com/search? q=edit+exif&qcat=1&qsrc=0&Search.x=0&Search.y=0&Search=submit> >If editing is done in DAM software, the changes cannot be written back to >the archived asset My iView workflow allows this. I edit my IPTC info, do captions etc in a temporary iView catalogue then synchronise this data back to my original files. Once I have written my captioned "original" files I write them to CD and add that to my master iView catalogue. -- David Gordon Glasgow 0141 423 9800 Mobile 0777 925 7750 <http://davidgordon.co.uk/> =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
