A bit late, but I found a really nice way to do this.
I had some pics saved as *.JPG (note caps), so:
$ sudo aptitude install imagemagick
$ for pic in *.JPG; do
echo $pic
echo convert $pic -strip ${pic%%.JPG}.jpg;
done
Once it works as you expect, remove the 'echo' in front of the 'convert'
part. That will create new files with lower case .jpg. Nuke or move
the *.JPG or whatever. Or tweak the shell fragment as needed. You can
do a one-liner like so, but that is much harder to read in this message:
$ for pic in *.JPG; do echo $pic ; echo convert $pic -strip
${pic%%.JPG}.jpg; done
$ man convert
[...]
-strip strip image of all profiles and comments
[...]
convert can do all kinds of crazy stuff, -strip doesn't even scratch the
surface.
Later,
JP
