How to remove EXIF data from your photos on Mac

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST

Back in the film days, photographers were forced to carry a pen and a notepad with them to record important information such as shutter speed, aperture and date… Nowadays, every modern digital camera has the capability to record this information, along with many other camera settings, right into the photographs… This stored data is called “EXIF Data” and it is comprised of a range of settings such as ISO speed, shutter speed, aperture, white balance, camera model and make, date and time, lens type, focal length and much more. (Nasim Mansurov, Photography Life)

Whether you’re snapping your photos with your iPad, your iPhone, or your DSLR camera, EXIF data is often stored on your images to help you keep organized and track of all your photography.

Mobile photography can even store information like your geographical location with your images, while the EXIF data essentially eats up unnecessary space with information 95% of people don’t actually care about.

If you’re looking to remove your EXIF data from your photos on your Mac, here are a couple of steps you can take to do so!

How to remove EXIF data from your photos on Mac

  1. Download ImageOptim to your Mac.
  2. Double-click ImageOptim to open the program.

  3. Click and drag the image you would like to remove your EXIF data from ImageOptim. You can drag multiple images in at a time. It may take a moment or two.
  4. Click and drag the image to your desktop when the process is complete.

Your image will now no longer have any EXIF data. You can check this with a few simple steps:

  1. Double-click on the image that was just run through ImageOptim.
  2. Click Tools at the top of the screen.

  3. Click Show Inspector. A separate window will pop up on your screen.
  4. Click the i icon in the circle.

The EXIF data icon should no longer appear with your image!

How do you get rid of your EXIF data?

Is there a technique that you use to easily get rid of EXIF data? Let us know how you drop that extra metadata weight in the comments below!

Satechi joins the ranks with its own dual-charging stand for iPhone and Apple Watch

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST

Satechi has unveiled at CES 2018 its latest addition to the iPhone charging pool. While the rest of the tech accessory making world is jumping on the wireless charging bandwagon, Satechi is going back to its roots with a dual charger for the iPhone and Apple Watch. It uses your own USB Lightning cable, so you’ll never fear losing support and it works with your non-wireless charging iPhones, too.

The Smart Dual Charging Station has two stands, one for your iPhone and one for your Apple Watch. Each stand has its own secret compartment where you can wrap up your Lightning cable or Apple Watch wireless charger (cable management is our friend). Plug the charging station (with it’s USB-C power cable) into the wall and get a 15-watt charge that distributes between your iPhone and Apple Watch so they can charge up at the same time.

Around my house, we only have one wireless charging supported device – the iPhone X – but we have a half-dozen Lightning supported device. Sure, I love tossing my iPhone onto the table, knowing it’ll get juiced up while it sits there, but my iPhone 7 Plus, iPad Pro, iPhone SE, and other iOS devices aren’t on the Qi standard yet. So, its nice to see that Satechi is thinking broadly to cover nearly all iPhones, not just the newest ones.

The Smart Dual Charging Station will come in silver or space gray brushed aluminum and will be available this spring for $65.

In the meantime, check out Satechi’s other Mac-designed accessories.

Razer Phone Gets Netflix HDR and Dolby Plus 5.1

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST

If there was any doubt over whether or not Razer was taking smartphones seriously, I think today should clear that all up. Not only did the company show off a pretty cool Project Linda concept, they also announced at CES this morning that its Razer Phone is getting access to Netflix HDR and Dolby Plus 5.1. This is the first smartphone to support both technologies.

As was noted in today's announcement by Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan, this level of Netflix support enables them to "take full measure of the Razer Phone's HDR10-enabled display and dual-firing, front-facing Dolby-optimized speakers and THX-certified headphone connectivity." Few phones are equipped like Razer's phone.

An update will bring in the new goodness here and should arrive later this month. The update includes the Netflix app and a home screen widget, which is kind of obnoxious for those who don't care about this news. Going forward, this software will come preloaded on the phone.

Kate Spade and Skagen Enter the Android Wear Game

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST

We have two new Android Wear players this week at CES, kate spade new york and Skagen.

The kate spade piece doesn't have a name exactly, listed simply as the Touchscreen Smart Watch. However, it does come with Android Wear 2.0, a 1.19-inch AMOLED display (390 x 390 resolution), signature scallop top-ring on the 41.5mm display dial, Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, and Bluetooth. kate spade's press release and product listing make no mention of GPS, NFC, or a heart rate monitor.

For Skagen, its first Android Wear device is called Folster, featuring an unspecified touchscreen display, Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, Android Wear 2.0, and extremely minimal design. Sadly, there is no NFC for mobile payments or heart rate functionality.

The Folster is not yet for sale or pre-order, but when that time comes, it will be priced at $275-$295 depending on which setup you choose.

The kate spade piece is up for pre-order right now for $295, with shipping expected for February 1. As soon as the Skagen is available, we'll let you know.

Here are the Google Assistant Speakers With Smart Displays

Posted: 09 Jan 2018 12:05 PM PST

You probably just read the announcement from Google about Assistant coming to smart displays, which is really just an awkward way of saying that there will be Google Assistant-powered smart speakers with displays. We're talking about Google Home-like units with touch displays, similar to what Amazon has with some of its Echo products (like Show and Spot).

But who are we expecting products from? We know for sure that Lenovo, LG, Sony, and JBL are all making them.

Lenovo Smart Display

So far, Lenovo has dropped a device on us called the Lenovo Smart Display. It comes in two sizes (8-inch and 10-inch), should be here this summer (July), and will cost either $199.99 or $249.99. There will be bamboo or grey color options too.

The Lenovo Smart Display can lay horizontally or sit upright, has a modern design with two 10W speakers on one side, 5MP front-facing camera for video calls, and a full HD display. It's built off Qualcomm's Home Hub Platform and includes the Qualcomm Snapdragon 624 with integrated CPU, GPU and DSP, 2×2 dual mics, up to 2GB RAM and 4GB storage, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

LG ThinQ Google Assistant Touch Screen Speaker (WK9)

LG's entry into the Google Assistant smart display arena is the ThinQ Google Assistant Touch Speaker and we don't know much about it in terms of pricing and availability.

What we do know is that it sports an 8-inch touch display, has a front facing camera, and should sound pretty good, thanks to dual speakers that are tuned by Meridian Audio.

JBL LINK View

JBL, a Harman company that is owned by Samsung, is all-in on Google Assistant integration into its products. Not only did they announce new headphones with Assistant, but they'll be one of the first with a Google Assistant smart display device. The JBL LINK View should be here by this summer, though we don't yet know pricing.

As for features, the JBL LINK View has an 8-inch HD display, two 10W speakers and a dedicated passive radiator, 5MP front camera, WiFi, Bluetooth, and is IPX4 splashproof.

Sony Smart Display

While Sony is listed by Google as one of the first partners to create a Google Assistant smart display product, they haven't announced any details. Once we know them, we'll update this post.

Any of these look appealing to you?
