Remove and edit metadata or exif data from raw photos on Mac

In order to get higher quality photos, we use a raw photo format as the shooting format for a digital camera. The digital raw photo contains not only photo content, but also photo metadata. These metadata tags can be used to manage and organize photos. In addition, photo metadata contains a lot of information, including shooting date, shooting location, shooting equipment, etc. If we need to remove all metadata or edit some exif data from a raw photo on a Mac, is there any way to do that?

 

Photo metadata in a raw photo

 

It contains standard attributes such as EXIF properties, TIFF properties, IPTC properties, GPS properties, and some raw special photo metadata which depends on camera device, such as Canon, Nikon and other device-specific attributes. Below is a DNG photo taken with a Pentax camera, which includes DNG and Pentax photo metadata.
