Title: Edit Tag by TagID (Hex Value)
Post by: Invindicator on July 11, 2017, 10:40:20 PM

Hi all,

Was wondering if it was possible to edit/remove tags based on their tag ID (I think is the right one). For example some of my images (.jpg) have the unknown IFD0 tag 0x0220 and I was wondering if it was possible to remove it using exiftool, rather than wipe the whole the IFD0:all block to solve the problem and losing other information in the process?

Any help is much appreciated :) Thanks in advance :)

Probably not. This post (https://exiftool.org/forum/index.php/topic,6130.msg30227.html#msg30227) from a few years ago, while it's in regards to IPTC and not EXIF, says it's not possible without creating a user-defined tag. I can't find any posts in the intervening time which negates this info.

But you'll have to wait a few weeks until Phil gets back to get an official answer.
