Am I the only photographer in the world that wants to export jpeg from Bridge?

I'm trying to export jpegs from Bridge. 

 

However no matter the settings I use under metadata, my images get issued wtih FULL exif data. Serial numbers, lens serial numbers, settings used. All for potential public and clients to see. 

 

Am I the only one in the world that has noticed this? It's been about 10 years and the bug has never been fixed or much mention of it it online so I must be the only one in the world that doesnt want jpegs issued with serial numbers in the metada....

Hi, @Toastman3000,

 

Have you scrolled down a bit? Further down in the selections for using Export was what metadata you want to include. This area provides options, and each one seems to work for me. (Note how far down the scroll bar is, this option is toward the end.)

 

If they are not working for you, please let Adobe know. Also, provide what OS you are using (and what release) as well as which version of Bridge you are using (and the version number).

Yes, the setting has zero effect on the output of jpegs. 

 

The serial number of the camera and even serial number of the lens always get exported. There's no way to remove it from Bridge

Interesting. On my system, it works just fine,

 

Have you tried refreshing your preferences?

 

Try this:

Quit Bridge (if running). Just before clicking on Bridge in the Dock or double-clicking the application for the Mac, press Command-Option-Shift. For PCs, press Control-Alt-Shift. Then open Bridge BUT KEEP your fingers on those keys until you see a window pop up. From the window, choose “Reset Preferences," "Entire Thumbnail Cache,” and/or "Reset Standard Workspaces.” In your case, choose "Reset Preferences."
