how to exiftool profiles?

[wolf]

Hi,

after I have the jpegs ready for my customer I would like to strip all metadata but the following
.) Color Profile
.) Copyright Notice
The reason: Normally there is no reason to transfer the serial number of your camera, the camera type, the lens used, the aperture used etc. to the rest of the world

Right now, I strip all the data with a command like
exiftool -overwrite_original -all='' my.jpg
which works fine. Everything but the picture is gone. Then I reassign the profile and the copyright data. I am sure there is a better way and to leave these two things in the file in the first place.

Regards Wolf

You can exclude an entire group from a mass deletion, but individual tags must be copied back again.  Like this:

exiftool -all= --icc_profile:all -tagsfromfile @ -copyright my.jpg
