Thanks, Martin. I will try it and see how I get on. I haven't looked too deeply into scripting (learning Lingo did my head in and put me right off scripting). Will the above script work on PSD files? And will it duplicate files, sans camera metadata, to a folder without applying compression if the files are TIFFs and you remove -lzw?
