Mojo - Faststone is a brilliant piece of software and is especially useful to digital photographers. In addition to using it to display image sequences, I often use the Batch Renumber facility and, before submitting images to competitions etc., I use Faststone to strip out all the EXIF info in an image file, so that nosey judges can't go poking around in your image file to see how it might have been created.  |

I suppose that might be the case Postie, but I only ever strip out EXIF info when an image is being entered into a photographic competition, whether a club comp or a national / international comp.
I'm a competition judge myself and I know that on occasions, if an image intrigues me, I'll use an EXIF viewer (Kuso is the one I use) to have an in depth look into the file. However, if the photographer doesn't want me to look at the EXIF, he or she will, like me, strip the EXIF out. As I'm sure you know, if the camera that was used to create the image has been set up to create Photographer's name, website details and copyright info, all this is embedded into the EXIF info. Along with Camera make, model and even serial number and similar info available for the lens being used.
So, when judging a camera club competition, the judge is given the images but has no idea who took them . . . . unless he looks into the EXIF ! I'm pretty sure that wouldn't usually influence a judge in his marking of an image, but you never know.
Submitting an image to a magazine or newspaper is, of course, entirely different. A picture editor expects to find, and will look for, a full EXIF file.

thanks for the insight Alan it looks as if I touched onto the tip of an iceberg regarding several areas. I was probably thinking nearer in mind to the magazine/newspaper version of competitions and hadnt considered a setting of the competitive level of club competion where rivaly and personal details must be fiercly defended, (no doubt). I can certainly see how things would differ in such a setting. thanks for mentioning the exif viewer,(Kuso) as it must be a decent choice as there are so many out there to confuse and confound. cheers again |

How to Join the Microsoft Insider Program and Get a Trial Copy of Windows 10 Preview Posted: 02 Oct 2014 05:13 AM PDT If you are interested in participating in a Microsoft program that previews Windows 10 as it undergoes further development, you can sign up to their "Insider Program" to download a preview copy of Windows 10. You'll have to join the program and agree to provide feedback. In essence, you sign up to be a beta tester. Of course, you would not do this on your regular system. This is an unfinished product with many bugs likely. It should be installed only on a virtual machine or a system you are not using for anything else. The ISO download is nearly 4 GB and system requirements are similar to Windows 8. www.techsupportalert.com/content/how-join-microsoft-insider-program-and-get-trial-copy-windows-10-preview.htm How to Join the Microsoft Insider Program and Get a Trial Copy of Windows 10 Preview Posted: 02 Oct 2014 05:13 AM PDT If you are interested in participating in a Microsoft program that previews Windows 10 as it undergoes further development, you can sign up to their "Insider Program" to download a preview copy of Windows 10.
