Remove EXIF data?

Does anyone know how to remove EXIF data from image?

It looks like cfimage keeps all EXIF information upon resizing, so produced small thumbnail 75x75 px will be around 20K instead of just 2K because of extra data.

Just a thought, but this might work?

blank = ImageNew( "",200,200,"rgb" );
photo = ImageRead( path );
photo = ImageOverlay( blank, photo );

Thank's a lot, your solution works:

photo = ImageRead("test.jpg");
blank = ImageNew("",photo.width,photo.height,"rgb");
clipboard = ImageCopy(photo,0,0,photo.width,photo.height);
ImagePaste(blank,clipboard,0,0);
ImageWrite(blank,"test-result.jpg",0.8);
