Hello I was wondering if ExifTool could be used to completly remove all XMP namespaces if one desired? I have certain files that when XMP is injected they are just over a size threshold and would like to scrub the XMP out. Some of the files have custom namespaces. thanks Scott

Re: XMP Removal?

To remove ALL XMP using the CLI version of exiftool, it is simple as

exiftool -XMP:All= abcd.jpg

Re: XMP Removal?

Sure. You can do this with either "-xmp=" or "-xmp:all=" on the command line.

Re: XMP Removal?

Hi Scott,

You forgot the space between the "=" and "abcd.jpg".

The space character displayed by some browsers is very small, so I can understand this mistake.
