Removing Camera Data

[gm]

Anybody know of a good tool (mac) for removing camera data from RAW/DNG files?

RAW files are by definition read-only -- they cannot be changed by anyone... nor would you want them to be if you think about it. I don't know about DNG files but suspect that you can easily change anything you want to about them.

Make them into a JPEG or TIF and don't save the EXIF - perhaps with Photoshop's Save for Web.

Hello,

There are several applications which will edit the EXIF data of various camera's RAW formats.

I can think of many reasons one might want to do this. For example, if using CS2 for HDR it will not let you buid an HDR image out of one RAW file processed two or three different ways. However, if you edit the exposure in the EXIF then CS2 churns out an HDR.

Here's a post on another board with several of the pieces of software listed that do this.
