Eliminate metadata?

[trialbomfunknumber2]

Originally posted this in Bridge General, was suggested that I repost here...

Trying to eliminate the shooting data from image files using Bridge (including shutter speed, f-stop).

I see options to affect virtually everything except for those two things it seems.

Does Bridge have a way to remove this information or simply "blank out" all metadata from image files?

...further detail...

I need to save the original full-resolution images w/o the metadata.

Exporting in virtually any form will eliminate the metadata as a new file is being created. I have 1000's of original images that I simply want to strip the metadata from and have as little (or no) generation loss as possible.

I have done an example here..

But the best solution might be to use ExifTool http://owl.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

Just downloaded ExifTool - tried registering for the user forum, but the site isn't sending the verification email so am a bit stuck at this point.

Sifting through the documentation, so far haven't found quite what I'm looking for but guessing it has to be there, as this is realatively simple thing.

Would you know what the ExifTool command would be to remove all metadata from a folder of .jpg images? Or, remove only shutter speed, aperture, and ISO? (Whichever is easier).

Found a HUGE amount of documentation on the ExifTool commands, but can't get the program to do a single thing. There is apparently some missing syntax that isn't allowing the program to function.

No matter what combination I try to get the program to react somehow, the only response is either "Pattern not found" or "File not found".

If you know of a single example of a complete command line - any command line at all - in the Mac OS terminal window using ExifTool, that's all I'd need.
