Date stamp removal

T

Turkeylips99

How do I remove the date stamp from digital photos without cropping or using
the clone tool? When you view the thumbnails of photos in Windows Picture
and Fax Viewer and in Windows Explorer, the date stamp does not show up.
Therefore, there has gotta be a way to get rid of it on the picture.

Since noone else has replied..........
Where exactly are you seeing the date stamp? If it's not there in the
viewer, then it's not actually there in the file. If it appears in hardcopy
printouts, then whatever software you're using to print it is adding the
date stamp during the printing process. There should be an option somewhere
to turn it off.

Disable it on your camera.

The thumbnail is normally a different jpeg than the main image. It is
therefore possible that the camera does not add the date to the
thumbnail.

In future, turn it off in the camera, but I suspect the only solution
for photos already taken is very careful editing, or cropping.

The camera does not produce the thumnail - Windows does. And if it's not
the in the picture and fax viewer it isn't there. I think that the poster
is referring to the date stamp added during printing. Epson Easy Photo
Print does this (I assume other photo printing software does too) and you
have to switch it off in the software.

Thanks for the responses, folks. These are in pictures from someone else's
camera so I can't change the setting on the camera; and the date shows up in
the lower right corner on screen when the photo is viewed full size, but not
in the thumbnail version.

Which is not what you originally stated. Clone tool (e.g. in Corel
Photopaint) is the only option.

Actually, it is what I said, but with a little more detail. But thanks. I'm beginning to believe I've gotta live with the date stamps or do a lot of work. It's just aggravating that the thumbnails don't show the date while the big pix do. How Windows removes the stamp for the thumbnail I guess will remain a mystery.

Mike,
When I read "When you view the thumbnails of photos in Windows Picture and
Fax Viewer and in Windows Explorer, the date stamp does not show up", I
assumed the date stamp is not visible in the windows picture and fax viewer.
I've never seen thumbnails in this viewer - only the full view, hence my
confusion.

Thanks, Bill. I appreciate your help. As a matter of fact, I just reviewed my process and it looks like I thought the Windows Explorer "filmstrip" view of my pictures was the Picture & Fax viewer, when, in fact, it was just one of the optional views in Windows Explorer. It resembles the Picture & Fax viewer but with a filmstrip of thumbnails below.

You know how it is when you think someone made a mistake, the first place
you should look is the mirror. I neglected to do that. Sorry.

Dear Turkeylips99:

Terminology is getting us!

You don't want to remove the "date time stamp." You want to remove the EXIF
data from the photo!

You can save the files to another format that doesn't preserve the EXIF, I
think BMP and PCX are good for this, and then back to JPG for
transport/distribution/printing.

IrfanView (freeware) can automate the process, as can other software.

Here's what I entered into Google to obtain the EXIF removal software listed
below:

"Photo +EXIF +removal" (remove the quotes)

or

goto http://www.exifer.friedemann.info/ and dl Exifer.
install and launch it.
right-click on photo, select exif/iptc, select remove.

or

http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/

or

http://www.tinyapps.org/graphics.html

JPG Cleaner 2.6 [from 8k] + Strip non-picture data from JPGs. Several
versions included.

jhead 2.3 [94k] {S}+ Extract/modify digital camera setting information from
exif JPEG files, strip unnecessary data, more. Precompiled binaries
available for Windows, OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris.


Please let us know how you make out on this?

==================================
The OP does not want the date stamp to
show when the picture is viewed or printed.

Altering EXIF info will not affect that issue.
