When I first got into digital art and photography I was using Windows 3.1 and an early version of Photoshop. I am not sure if I was running a 386 or 486 then but it was definately Pre-Pentium times. The one annoying thing back then was the fact that the highest resolution shots my camera could create (640×480 – or 0.3 Megapixels) would take FOREVER to process using some Photoshop filters. As time went on and computers got faster the images processed more quickly. I am probably an anomaly in that I upgrade PC’s faster than I upgrade cameras.

Most modern digital cameras and cell phone cameras add metadata to the images they create. That information can be very useful for you when you need to know exactly when, or in some cases even where, a photograph was taken. That information, however, may be more than you want to share when you decide to place photographs online. Luckily, there is a very easy way to remove this data in Ubuntu.

I haven’t messed around with modifying my photos in an artistic way since getting my new camera. I usually enjoy messing around with outdoor photos so I decided to mess around with this photo took on April 19th: Marsden-St-Philly-3
