Modifying an image[edit]

When modifying an image, eg File:Government House Canberra.JPG altering brightness/contrast, what is the best way to to preserve (or find) the original metadata --SmokeyJoe (talk) 23:19, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If your image editor doesn't automatically preserve the metadata, you can copy it from the original file using "jhead -te original.jpg target.jpg" or "exiftool -tagsfromfile original.jpg target.jpg". You may also want to either delete ("jhead -dt" or "exiftool -ThumbnailImage=") or regenerate ("jhead -rgt" or "exiftran -ig") any thumbnail images that might be present in the Exif data. (All of these are free software command line tools that should be available as standard packages on most Linux distributions. You can probably find precompiled Windows binaries for them, too, but I've never had any reason to look for such.) —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 01:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is an exif package for Cygwin if you use Windows. Also see Commons:Manipulating meta data. --Teratornis (talk) 03:29, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
File:Bangor bilingual station no smoking sign.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!
