Another excellent free metadata tool is Phil Harvey's Exiftool it will let you manipulate and extract or remove Metadata in almost every way... http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/ and there is even a GUI for it (though I've not tested that myself yet) http://hvdwolf.github.io/pyExifToolGUI/ all the best, Rob. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Save for the Web" should clear the extra metadata, but I hate the idea of overwriting those 500 JPG files… Anything more savvy like using Argyll scripts would be beyond my reach, I'm afraid.

Is there a way to quickly check a batch of JPG images for possible profile mismatch or JPG format and other EXIF compatibility issues?
I'm pretty sure that you could set up a custom search in Adobe Bridge or similar applications.
But the approach that I'd take would be to whip up a short batch script with Argyll's cctiff utility to convert anything and everything to the preferred profile. Assuming the image has an embedded profile, you can feed the image itself to cctiff for >input, and specify your preferred profile for the output; that way, you don't have to know or care what profile the original is using.
If you're not familiar with it, you can get Argyll for free from here:
