How to remove tags when copying a picture to the play raw section

Processing
1

I want to add a picture to the play-raw category, but I want to remove the tags and other meta data. Is there a straightforward way of doing this without going thru creating a duplicate and removing all such data?

Removing metadata from a raw file is not recommended. You can effect the demoasicing and other things in the pipe adversely.

Understood. But how about the tags and geotags? How do I remove those before posting

I assume the question is more about things like description, location, etc., not about camera metadata? Those are only stored in the xmp file, not the actual raw.
But if you want to share an xmp with the edits but without your private metadata, Iā€™d actually also be interested in what the best procedure for this is.

Edit: I just realised that geotags added by the camera itself are probably in the raw itself. Not sure how to handle those.

Tags from what? Are you writing to your raw files?

Geotags you can change or remove using exiftool or exiv2. You can remove any tag using those tools, but again, you risk rendering the raw useless if you remove too many.
