How to modify RAW file itself (anonimize it)

Processing
1

I’d like to publish some RAW files here (in DNG if needed, I use lumix S5ii) to ask questions here. But it contains sensitive data (children faces…) that I’d like to remove. Do you know any way to modify the RAW file itself to remove sensitive data in both RAW data and embeded JPG?

I am not aware of any method of doing this. In Lightroom you could crop the image and save as a DNG, but then I doubt that is a ‘true’ raw file anymore and playraw edits from it may not be as informative as you would like.

Can you not just shoot something random for now to get the ball rolling and then maybe try to apply what answers or advice you get to these photo’s??
