Stripping

Is QImage able to strip gps info from the exif? If so, where would I find it?

If not, how about adding that feature to the create web size/email copies? Perhaps 3 choices: remove gps only, all exif, or leave it as is.

Windows is supposed to have the ability to remove fields from the exif, but it doesn't work on my Windows 7/64 system. I don't know why.

Yessir.
It is located in the lower right corner of the Image info/details box.
It is in BLUE, and you can access either by a right click on a thumb, or top right corner of the image editor is a DETAIL button.

See snap.

PS
Terry did a terrific "Challenge #30" on just this topic.

I just realized you wanted to strip it out of EXIF.
There's program called EXIF TOOL GUI. Google for it.

I just did a CONVERT in Qimage, convert to a BMP selection, and the EXIF is pretty much gone.

That's an approach I hadn't thought of. Convert the image to bmp which doesn't support any meta data and then convert it back to jpeg.

I'd just as soon not get another utility if I can get by with QImage.
