What is RAW Photo Metadata?

Camera RAW files (from Canon, Sony, Nikon, Fujifilm, or Adobe DNG) contain the unprocessed sensor information recorded by your camera. In addition to light measurements, camera bodies write extensive private hardware diagnostics into TIFF header structures:

This includes your exact camera body serial number, lens serial numbers, total lifetime shutter actuations, owner name fields, and satellite GPS coordinates. When providing raw deliverables to clients or commercial licensing agencies, this data can be extracted by anyone.

MetaRinse AI scrubs private hardware identifiers while keeping the raw sensor color matrix and CFA layout untouched, ensuring compatibility with Lightroom, Capture One, and Photoshop Camera Raw.
