Be interesting to see Setho's reply. I've been putting a copyright notice on all my submitted images from day one and no one has complained yet.

If it was my company, I'd strip everything out and put in the relevant Shutterstock information in as many fields as possible.

I replied this on the SS forum:

Yes, that is the case. The copyright of the image is retained by you, however we do not want this information in the metadata.

Does that go for all metadata, or only for the metadata that are shown on ShutterStock? My cam puts my name somewhere in the EXIF. It's the same name as is shown on ShutterStock to the buyer, so I don't see the point of blanking that EXIF info.

I think SS must strip out everything they can. You can submit a JPG with paths to SS and not get in trouble, but you cannot say anything about 'paths' in your description because SS strips the paths out.

I would like to apologize for my last post. You actually can submit an image with your name in the EXIF data. Please accept my apology for the confusion."
