get a dehumidifier, put the setting at about 50%, but if you want to extract more humidity you should put it higher...and then you just empty it out when the button says Bucket Full or something like that. basically you can empty it every other day though, and it will still be good.

Same way you remove humidity from anything else. Dry it. Best way to dry it is to chill it, as cold air can't hold as much moisture as warm air. Are you talking about something as large as a room? Or a small sample for a scientific experiment? One of the things a good air conditioner does is to remove some of the moisture from the air.
If you only need to dry air in a small space, such as inside a camera, there are packets of dessicants you can buy that will absorb moisture from the air.

Hi. 1) Put a chilled object in the air and collect the condensation. 2) Compress the air and the moisture will just fall out.

easy just reduce the temp of something below the dew point of the air. The moisture will condense on this. Like on your air conditioner evaporator coil.
