My pictures have a bunch of junk tags that I don't want. Is there some way to turn off the option to extract tags from the pictures when uploading?

Disable the tags module?

I don't want the tags turned off completely, I just don't want it loading them from the picture keywords/data/whatever. I want tags only when I add them manually.

Disable the tags module when you add them?

Not ideal, but seems to work for now. Thank you.

This can be done by editing the gallery3/modules/exif/helpers/exif.php file.

As a starting point:
Backup. Then try removing the comma from line 130 and commenting out line 131:
"Keywords" => array("IPTC", "Keywords", t("Keywords"), )

May also be able to (need to?) do something with other lines (e.g. 57-61,65-66,77).

I have the exif module unchecked. I did get it to stop tagging pictures by commenting out line 50 in gallery3/modules/tag/helpers/tag_event.php though:
tag::add($photo, $tag);
That's probably not the best place to do it but it works apparently.
