    <h1>JpegWasher Help</h1>
    <h2>Using This Program</h2>
    <p>To remove sensitive metadata from your digital photos, just drag the JPEG
      file(s) containing them onto the main window of this application, or
      choose <em>File… Wash</em> from the menu bar.</p>
    <p>A dialog will pop up displaying the metadata in the file, with check
      boxes in the leftmost column marking the data to be deleted. If you
      disagree with JpegWasher’s choices, check or uncheck boxes until you are
      satisfied, then click on the <em>Wash</em> button below. The file will then be
      washed, and a new dialog will pop up displaying any remaining metadata in
      the washed file.</p>
    <p>The newly-washed file will have the same name as the original one, with
      “_washed” appended to it; e.g. washing <code>cat.jpg</code> will result
      in <code>cat_washed.jpg</code>. (Whether or not the cat enjoys being
      washed is an entirely different matter.)</p>
    <h2>Configuring JpegWasher</h2>
    <p>This is a configurable program, whose operation may be adjusted by the
      preferences dialog (accessed under the <em>JpegWasher</em> menu on the
      Mac and the <em>File</em> menu on Linux and Windows).</p>
    <p>The whitelist that determines which metadata keys will <em>not</em> be
      deleted can be changed, via the <em>Whitelist</em> pane of the
      preferences dialog. Note that there are two kinds of whitelist entries:
      ones that match entire keys, and ones that match the prefixes of keys (the
      latter entries end with an asterisk “*”). Whitelist entries are case
      sensitive; “exif.image.white*” will not match “Exif.Image.WhitePoint.”</p>
    <p>It is also possible to set the folder where output files are created, via
      the <em>Folders</em> pane (by default, this is the same folder the input
      file was in).</p>
