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 page, where it says it is not writable.
"It didn't work" isn't helpful. What was the exact command used and the output.
Read FAQ #3 and use that cmd
Please use the Code button for exiftool output

Please include your OS/Exiftool version/filetype

(not writable)

Unfortunately, none of the FujiIFD tags are currently writable.
