Bulk Removal Of Camera Serial Number From Images (Exif)

[Chao Lao Beach]

I am trying to remove the cameras and lens serial number from the EXIF data. It is easy to do in Photoshop and many other software for each individual image.

If I have 100 or more images in a folder, I want to scrub that info out of each of them quickly and freely (Free software).

Does anyone have any suggestions? In this case it does not matter if all the EXIF data is scrubbed actually to be honest.

(This is not directly I spose, but me, the camera and all the pics are of Thailand, will that do !!!)

Edit: Also have access to Lightroom on a comp I can use.

You could try Lightroom in conjunction with this: http://regex.info/blog/lightroom-goodies/metadata-wrangler

You could try stripper.exe I've used it before and it was very good.

As there are other operating system versions, here is the ubuntu/debian version.

sudo apt-get install exiv2 ; for i in *.jpg ; do echo "processing $i ; exiv2 rm $i ; done

That will fetch and install needed software then remove exif data for all the .jpg files on the directory. The power of command line
