I recently started using the picture feature in BK. I have been slowly adding photos to my database. However, I loaded a batch of them this past weekend, only to discover an unwanted comment are in several of my pictures. The comment is listed (I can see it using Picasa, but cannot edit or delete it) as a JPEG COMMENT. It appears that this unwanted bit of information is stored in the METADATA of my picture file. I Googled many different ways JPEG COMMENT and any combination I could think of thereof, and was directed to two different freeware programs, promising to be able to edit the METADATA comment. Over three hours later, no success. Well, the second program did seem to remove the METADATA comment from one JPEG file, but not others. I am sure that there are photography buff's within the group, so I am asking here. What program, or steps, or incantations do I need or need to perform to be able to edit the METADATA of these photographs so I can remove the unwanted comment? It clearly is found within the METADATA under JPEG COMMENT. There are other comment areas it seems (or so I can see within Picasa), but these are not showing up on the BK photo viewer. Any help in this matter is appreciated greatly. Rick Beitler rabone@gmail.com http://chertyrock.blogspot.com Preach the Gospel at all times and when necessary use words. ~Saint Francis of Assisi

To Rich Beitler Start BK 6.5 and show the picture on the screen using BK Then from the top menu pick "do not show comment boxes for any pictures" That will fix the problem.
