Title: Removing GeometricDistortionParams tag
Post by: jeffbuzz on May 05, 2020, 06:00:45 PM
My goal is to remove the lens correction data from raw images being used by Adobe Lightroom to forcefully correct optical lens distortion.

exiftool.exe -listw

says the GeometricDistortionParams tag in my image is writable.

However,

exiftool.exe -GeometricDistortionParams=

says

Warning: Sorry, GeometricDistortionParams is not writable
Nothing to do.


How do I remove the GeometricDistortionParams tag from an image?

Thank you.

Strange.  The only place I can find GeometricDistortionParams is on the FujiFilm tag names (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/FujiFilm.html#IFD) page, where it says it is not writable.

(not writable)

Unfortunately, none of the FujiIFD tags are currently writable.
