Photoshop - remove camera serial number. Sorry about the title

I have Photoshop 14 64 bit. I can edit the exif data but the tab with the camera serial is not editable. If i click the X beside the relevant tab the tab disappears. is that permanent. can i remove the camera serial by removing that tab? . see pic

Both things are not mutually exclusive!

You can change or delete camera serial number with freeware version Exif Pilot:



anyway File -> Save for Web have option save as jpeg
don't know what you mean as "hard copy"

And if you remove tab by clicking on X,
its just remove tabs from Photoshop File Info interface window, not from image file
you can reappear tabs by clicking on right corner:

Thanks. Will using pshop and exif pilot degrade them image.?

By hard copy i meant a physical newspaper you buy in shop not online. So save for web would not be a big enough file as far as I know. Isn't save for web reduced quality for web

And if you remove tab by clicking on X,
its just remove tabs from Photoshop File Info interface window, not from image file

Thanks did not know that

Exif Pilot does not show the serial number of the camera

Not necessarily.

Exif Pilot does not show the serial number of the camera

Try search for number in all values of Exif:

I recommend the excellent exiftool, if you are brave enough for the command line:

exiftool -SerialNumber= <file>

The main reason the paper wants a hard copy is for verification and ferensic purposes. Intentionally providing falsified documents may raise a red flag. I'm pretty sure they can determine the exit data was modified and would question why.

Exactly. Why are you trying to obscure this information? (I can think of only one possible legitimate reason, and if this is a reputable paper it's not an issue.)

The paper does not want a hard copy. i meant it has to be good enough quality jpeg for them to print in their physical paper as well as online. I do not want to have to make different versions

A paper has an ethical obligation to vet the source. Once confirmed, they can strip the metadata. If you've tampered with the file, why would they trust you?

Any newspaper who would rely on exif data is living in fairy land!

And if you rely on them to strip things as John McAfee what can happen!

They did not remove the metadata last time. And lose the suspicion and trying to infer i have a non legit reason. I am only interested in answers to the question. My business what i do with my images and i do not break any law. Even if i do it is not your business

If you are posting here publicly asking for help, and it is breaking the law, it IS our business! Our suspicion is now only further raised.

Answers to our questions bring about answers to your question. WE need to trust you too. Lack of truthful & open answers on your part leads to lack of help on our part. And I'm not just spouting this to be obstructionist: I know of at least 3 ways to do what you are asking.
