![]() For example, when I produce an Fstoppers article, I need a banner image that’s 1000 x 570 pixels. It’s a quick resize to 1000 pixels wide, then a custom selection that is set to 570 pixels high. For my post-production work, this covers pretty much everything I need to do. It is also an image-level editor, allowing easy resize, rotate and crop (including lossless JPEG), simple adjustments (brightness, contrast, levels, color depth), and filter effects (such as blur, sharpen, noise reduction). XnView does this with aplomb, supporting over 500 file formats (usefully including multipage TIFFs) and allowing thumbnails, film strips or slideshows, as well as producing contact sheets. I usually export my images as JPEG/TIFF for clients and print houses once processing is complete, so after that, I need something quick to browse directories of images, review metadata, crop, rotate, batch rename/resize, print contact sheets, and apply quick grayscaling or levels adjustments. So, is this really that useful? I do all my DAM in Lightroom and when I want more selective, layer-based edits, I move to Affinity. It doesn't do DAM (digital asset management) or pixel-level editing. Before I go any further, let me clarify what it doesn't do. It supports a vast array of file formats, allows simple image level manipulations, and has a powerful batch-processing engine. And my vote goes to XnView, an application built from the ground up to view images quickly - very quickly. So when it comes to image viewers, I'm after something that allows me to eyeball photos quickly, supports masses of file formats, has flexible batch-processing, and launches fast. " Simplicity is good, because it strips back to what you need to achieve a task, and in the software world, that often means speed. And on that score, Lightroom and Photoshop may just top the mark for overcomplicated bloatware. I'm not knocking their capabilities for which they are exemplary and market-leading, but if there is a software mantra I like to stick to, then it is "keep it simple. Double click in the 2nd column to add exiftool"s parameter (choose if you want to delete DateTimeOriginal or not. The first column of the table seems empty, double click and add a name, like "Del Date" ![]() browse folders to show XnViewMP installation folder, and open "AddOn". "Tools, Open with, Configure programs", "ADD". If you want to KEEP all exif data except some dates, you'll have to use an existing add-on : ExifTool įor example, you can set all dates to 01 01 2000. This tool may be useful for you to adjust many timestamps, if it's impossible to delete some of them. "Tools, Change timestamp" permits only to change timestamps, not to delete them. " and select "Exif" to be deleted, in selected pictures. To clean ALL exif data, use "Tools, Metadata, Clean. In XnViewMp, you can't delete easily most of exif fields, unless you delete all exif data. Two others exif fields can contain dates : Exif:CreateDate, Exif:ModifyDate and windows will not permit empty fields. I think that File create date and File modif date are managed by your O.S. I think you should keep "date taken" or "DateTimeOriginal" when exists, (this date is always useful). The field would still be there, but it would be empty, thus (hopefully) less clutter.Ĭan I use this XnView app (I just downloaded it) to accomplush my objective? My hope would be that no date/time data would then show up in PLEX. I want to delete any and all date/time information in these scanned image files. I suppose I could try to revise the date information to the actual date the photo was taken, but I have no idea what year they were taken, Some old photos are over 100 years old. ![]() This is totally irrelevant information and the fact that it appears on screen creates useless clutter. In these cases the date that shows up on the TV screen via PLEX is the date of the scanning. Worse yet, many of my photos are scanned images of film/paper photos. If the specific photo was taken by a digital camera, the date shown is usually either the date the photo was taken (which is useful information) or the date that the file was created (which might not be relevant information if I have copied the file to a different computer). ![]() When PLEX is showing any given photo it also displays (right below the image) a date. I use a media streaming app called PLEX to stream videos, music and photos to my 4K TVs.
