PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Thumbnails File size VERY large (unnecessary exif info)

vissa · February 6th, 2006, 09:29 AM

I have my gallery now set to use ImageMagick. Thumbnail quality is set very low. Most thumbnails come out to 1-3K, however I have discovered many new ones coming out to between 10 and 35K . Upon examining these small thumbs, it turns out they contain a huge amount of EXIF information. I understand that it is possible for ImageMagick and GD to strip the EXIF information from thumbs. Perhaps that was standard behavior for GD and not ImageMagick (which I have just switched to).

It's a simple switch I believe to have ImageMagick strip the EXIF info from thumbs, and I think it would be a very good idea.

Thanks
