Hello im a nooob at using the gui, and im having difficulites removing tags.

does a particular code have to be inputted to remove specific tags?

i actually am not sure how to do it and would appreciate some advice



the above image shows some tags id like to remove copyright , composer etc, but the when clicking on these items the right click only dispalys add tag to ciustom view and mark unmark tag, doing this does nothing and it doesnt remove the copyright tag

ideally id like to replace the generic text with specific text

any help would be appreciated!

regards

Did you read the manual?  I think the idea is that you add tag names you want to change to the Workspace, then you can edit the values there.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).

From the look of those tags, I'd guess that the file is a video file, which probably isn't write supported.
"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
