stinkykong Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I Photoshop, when I save for web, similar to exporting in Affinity Photo, it strips the exif data from the file. Is there a way to set up Affinity Photo to do this automatically on export so I don't have to do that manually? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 On the More... part of the Export dialog you can unset the option "Embed Metadata", which should remove that information. You can also create an Export Preset with the settings you want for image quality and format, and include that option in your Preset.

Also I'm guessing removing Metadata will reduce file size, correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kat Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 In psd save for web you can unclick metadata options. Can't do that in AD or AP for pngs or jpgs either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just click More... and you get this for a PNG, for example: Just uncheck "Embed metadata". kat 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.3, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 uncheck "Embed metadata" worked. Now what I want to do is batch a bunch of pngs and output to jpgs with medadata removed. But can't created a macro for export or in export persona. Ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Photo, File > New Batch Job will do what you want. The "..." menu has the checkbox for Embed Metadata. kat 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro, version 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU. iPad: iPad Pro M1, 12.9": iPadOS 17.3, Apple Pencil 2, Magic Keyboard Mac: 2023 M2 MacBook Air 15", 16GB memory, macOS Sonoma 14.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I suspect you put the strip metadata into new batch job when I wasn't looking ; ) Funny all except 1, Copper, image were reduced 50%, e.g., 140 png to 73kb jpg Copper only went from 157 png to 141jpg.
