Data not saved is data lost, so I would say that the question is more when to explicitly not save it: if it contains personal data and you publish it.
You mean publish where? On the web? So someone can save the picture from web and then view its metadata?
I mark the checkbosx for save iptc data... but then I open it again and view metadata in gimp and there is nothing there excapt date and tie of creation I think because I didnt put anything as metadata. I didnt do anything special as to record any meta data , and I dont even know how to save metadata or save any personal info to a picture
I use windows 10
I will publish in a book I am writing. I also draw images myself. I was checking -without knowing what it means- just in case that I save more information that I am creator of the image. Then in a pdf I will send the book file to amazon for self publish. Can meta data be viewed in such case by others?
Also when I check image properties, under color profile tab it says something like :
GIMP built-in sRGB
sRGB
Manufacturer: GIMP
Copyright: Public Domain
what does this mean? the images I edit with gimp becomes public domain?? I am assuming it refers to gimp itself there
