I spent a fortune on the premier imaging program, Photoshop, and frankly my computer is full of programs right now that I don't really use. I don't consider it that big of a problem, as you can see I did manage to get the image into the gallery, even if it was bloated. I can instruct Capture One to not save metadata, but frankly I don't see that saving 30K, it's just a few bits of text. Do you think everyone on the list should go out and get a special 'stripping' program in order to submit? I think not. I say up the limit to 100K and everyone should be happier. Computer life is already too complicated, adding to the complexity is not my favorite thing. I appreciate your effort, and frankly I'm amazed.
