Hi,

I'm looking for a way to optimize my thumbnails while still maintaining the IPTC information, but not other profiles (i.e. EXIF, etc). If you see,

http://www.definitedigital.com/test/big.jpg
http://www.definitedigital.com/test/small.jpg

You'll notice that big.jpg is 34KB while small.jpg is only 7.5KB. Both have IPTC information but only big.jpg has EXIF information as well, so I'm guessing the heavy portion of the file is exactly this.

I've tried various approaches with Image-Magick, using Strip(), Composite(), etc, but I can't seem to find a way to keep the IPTC information and get rid of all the other profiles. If small.jpg is optimized so well, I'm guessing there is a way to remove EXIF and other unnecessary data.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks and regards,
Ralph
