Is it dangerous to post photos on the net without editing?

iphone photo editing applications image

Emily

hi. I'm talking about iphones and digital cameras and cellphones.
I have a few cats in my house and i often take photos of them for my blog.
Since I'm not good at editing photos, i often post their photos without editing anything.
Then a friend of mine told me that i should use photoshop or some tool and edit each photo otherwise someone could get some info's about where I live.

Is that true? I've heard about GPS thingy and such but not sure how it's possible.
Should I edit each photo before I post it online?

Answer
What your friend is referring to is called EXIF data. Depending on the phone/camera/format, it may store information such as GPS (geolocation) and time taken.

Here's a list of some of the attributes that are listed in the EXIF data:

Here's a website you can upload your pictures to if you want to see what EXIF data is available:

How to disable geo-tagging on an iPhone:

1. Turn on your iPhone, and select "Settings" from the menu screen.

2. Press "General," and then select "Reset."

3. Select the "Reset Location Warnings" option.

4. Press "Reset Warnings."

5. Press and open your camera application on the menu screen. Select "Don't Allow" when prompted.

The founder of imgur (honestly, the best image hosting service online) supports privacy and one of his main reasons for creating the imgur service was to help people maintain their privacy when posting images - Imgur.com strips out exif data of all images uploaded to it.

There's also an imgur apps for mobile:

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.imgurforandroid&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5pbWd1cmZvcmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..

Hope this helps

I have some but I want more so my photos look better. If you could give some details too on how to use them right etc., that'd be great! Thanks in advance. I'd also prefer they be free and have a text feature.

Answer
