Did you upload those to those web sites? If not, why wouldn't you just want them removed and how could you possibly edit them?

The really REAl Hummingbird posted on alt.comp.freeware (until he went off to do some business) owns two of the images that the socialist "jak bute" has stolen and is now claiming as his own but is bellyaching about missing EXIF data.

Thank you for your support, ART. As you say I am the REAL hummingbird. All 3 of my pictures belong to me. They were stolen by thieves who hacked my server when I invited them to look at my photos. I've now decided I didn't want them to see my pictures. Before you ask, I have never been to the Duangjitt Hotel in Patong in 2007. I never wrote in their guestbook: "I enjoyed this hotel enormously. A fabulous place to stay with incredible tropical garden and two swimming pools. All I have left now are the dreams of paradise! Highly recommended. I hope to go there again in early 2008." http://groups.google.com/group/alt.comp.freeware/msg/aa132884741e4af5 http://groups.google.co.uk/group/free.hipcrime/msg/2567affee8c86b09 This is a picture of that hotel where I didn't stay. http://aff.bstatic.com/images/hotel/org/144/1447743.jpg What's more, I never stayed in the Bangkok Swiss Lodge in 2005 either and this is a picture where I didn't stay. http://www.tour-bangkok-legacies.com/images/hotels-in-silom-swiss- lodge.jpg -hb- (the REAL hummingbird) -- "All truth passes through three stages.

How can I restore the exif? Basically you cannot. But presumably you have the original full resolution images from which the online versions were made? It is quite likely that in a composite panorama image the Exif data will be stripped since exposures and time date stamps will vary. >> >> Wimbledon, London, UK >> http://bayimg.com/aANiGaAcf.jpg >> >> Pao de Acucar, Rio, Brazil >> http://bayimg.com/cAnIKaACF.jpg >> >> View from my rooftop, R.

If you are the copyright owner then you should still have the original full resolution panorama to prove it. The image quality on the copies you have pointed to is poor. I have occasionally been alerted to people using my images to sell things on eBay by folk who recognised one of my plants! Most people will desist infringing copyright if asked to do so. Showing the hosting site one of the original full images complete with all ex-camera EXIF information should be sufficient proof. The images you pointed to are of relatively low resolution and heavily JPEG compressed with optimised Huffman tables and IJG Q=75 (exactly) for luminance and Q~74 (symmetric, and not exact) for chrominance. This may well identify the tools last used to compress it for web display. > > Then, since you care about your images, I would take greater pains to > protect them if you are going to have them available anywhere on the > internet.

The question posed by the OP shows a profound misunderstanding of how digital data works. It isn't there any more so it cannot be undeleted. Regards, Martin Brown |
