Do you guys strip exif when you post images on your website (ie: portfolio photos)? And would you leave in the metadata copyright stuff?

Oooh 1000 posts... wow I post too much.

in photoshop, "save for web" completely strips all the EXIF Data.

If you to omit only certain info or details, I think you need to manually do it yourself, but I may be wrong.

Yea I'm just trying to figure out whether or not/when I should. I know how to do it :)

Portfolio photos have no exif, people don't need it and it adds to file size. I use EXIFer to remove it, or save for web. For high res CDs I strip exif and add copyright info.

When i post images here i leave the exif info in tact. But like Tim, when a client buys the high-res files, i strip the exif and add copyright information.

how can one strip the data but add the copyright info? I use Lightroom, & PS CS3 on a Mac.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?

Thanks

EXIFer doesn't run on a mac, but there will be software to do it, maybe try google.

You can do it with CS3

I haven't thoroughly explored it but file info under the menu heading file is the place to look.

I leave just IPTC (needed for our online archive to extract it anyway, and for clients when they download photos) but remove exif. I do this automatically with Photo Mechanic when uploading photos. But IPTC always stays.
