k-hawinkler Posted March 17, 2010 Share #1 Posted March 17, 2010 Advertisement (gone after registration) How does one strip out the M9 serial number when making a jpg file from a DNG file? I run Mac OS X 10.6.2 and have Adobe Bridge CS4, LR2, LR3 beta and Photoshop CS4. I normally just use Adobe Photoshop Camera Raw, current Version 5.6.0.148, for post processing. Thanks, K-H.

matlep Posted March 17, 2010 Share #2 Posted March 17, 2010 Export to Photoshop and choose "save for web". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-hawinkler Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share #3 Posted March 17, 2010 Export to Photoshop and choose "save for web". Many thanks. I just successfully did that. The "save for web" feature also allows to down sample the image. Great. I noticed that it strips out almost all the Exif data. Is there a way to selectively strip the M9 SN and say GPS coordinates? What tools are there to edit the Exif data on a Mac? Regards, K-H. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
menos I M6 Posted March 18, 2010 Share #4 Posted March 18, 2010 In the export dialogue in Lightroom is a feature at the very bottom, that lets you minimize EXIF data. I have made profiles for each task with or without stripped data, that way, I don't forget to do this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, since Ligthroom or PS does not offer the selective removal functionality you have to add another step to the workflow. A program such as PhotoMechanic might work: Photo Mechanic - Professional Digital Photo Workflow Software Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matlep Posted March 18, 2010 Share #6 Posted March 18, 2010 Or maybe this little utility: EXIFutils - Command Line EXIF manipulation tools for JPG and TIF images Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

downstairs Posted March 19, 2010 Share #8 Posted March 19, 2010 Interesting question. So a photograph of the Prime Minister with her finger in her nose could be traced back through the the Leica owner's register. Or worse, the exif could be doctored. ------------- Paranoid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder though what other tell-tale signs might there be in an actual image (like dust spots) that can connect an image to a camera in a forensic sense. Just wondering ... for the Really Paranoid Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
