Windows Forum / Windows XP / Photos / May 2008Date stamp removal
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. cheers Bill > How do I remove the date stamp from digital photos without cropping or > using > the clone tool?

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.

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. cheers Bill 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. > Thanks for the responses, folks.

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

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. Cheers yourself, Mike >> Which is not what you originally stated.

I've never seen thumbnails in this viewer - only the full view, hence my confusion. cheers Bill > 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 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > 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. Mike > How do I remove the date stamp from digital photos without cropping or > using > the clone tool?

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?  SignatureCordially yours, Young Snodgrass > Dear Turkeylips99: > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > the EXIF data from the photo! >snip< ================================== 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.
