Can I erase all photo metadata using Gimp?



Or it will be some metadata I can not erase using gimp?



Thanks in advance

    Note that Gimp is not capable of modifying metadata without modifying the image - for example if the image has JPEG compression it will be re-compressed adding further noise. You would need a separate tool for that (such as Exiftool as already mentioned).

GIMP 2.9.4 and later has a built-in metadata editor. It is accessed by selecting Image -> Metadata -> Edit Metadata. The GIMP Metadata Editor can edit a wide variety of image metadata fields including GPS metadata. To write metadata click the Write Metadata button in the lower right corner of the Metadata Editor window.

GIMP 2.10



GIMP 2.10 can be installed as a snap package in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu or as an apt package in Ubuntu 18.10 and later.



Image::ExifTool (libimage-exiftool-perl) is a library and program (exiftool) to read and write metadata information in multimedia files. To install libimage-exiftool-perl in all currently supported versions of Ubuntu open the terminal and type: 



sudo apt install libimage-exiftool-perl


To quickly erase all of an image's metadata run this command:



exiftool -overwrite_original -all= /path/to/file

    If you must install exiftool, you can use it to rip all the metadata in a terminal which is going to be much faster: exiftool -overwrite_original -all= $file (yes, nothing after the =)

Confectionery

Prepared foods made with a lot of sugar or other cabohydrates "Sweetmeat" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Sweetmeat (horse). Not to be confused with Sweetbread. This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar. In some cases, chocolate confections (confections made of chocolate) are treated as a separate category, as are sugar-free versions of ...
