LocDB Image processing

i'm wondering what is done to the images uploaded to the database... are they automagically resized or recompressed in any way?; is the EXIF / IPTC data nuked?; are the basic file attributes nuked?

the curiosity is due to a post in another forum about being too specific in our descriptions of adventures; what's the point in being secretive if our images metadata tells all?

The images are resized to 800x600, recompressed to a lower quality level, and any extra data like META and EXIF, along with any proprietary crap such as thumbnail images, guides, etc is removed.

It's surprising how often people upload a 1.5 MB file right from their camera, and the system turns it into a 30k file. Talk about wasting their bandwidth.

if the file is already 800x600 and about 30ish k, does the software do anything to the size and compression?

I would love to have resized photos for you guys but I have no clue how to pre do that. Even with infra whatever I still cant get it down to 10k for just plain board posting.

Use Adobe's "save for web feature" in photoshop.

If the file is 800x600 or less, it doesn't resize it, but it will recompress it. It does this to "normalize" the file -- remove the EXIF, thumbnails, Progressive mode, and any other crap like that.

Is there any way to do what you talk about in photoshop? I have always wondered what it takes to get rid of exif info.
