ID Editing: Exif data

This is not mandatory but all images contain EXIF Data. EXIF contains a ton of information about your camera, and potentially where the picture was taken (GPS coordinates). This may also contain names of cameras and other devices who took it, how it was produced, etc.

You can either delete this or you can edit it. The best thing to do is to edit it. There are already a lot of scans checker providers like Jumio Netverify which can flag an image with no EXIF data. This means that your scan won’t go through if you delete EXIF data.

What we want to do here is to not let anybody know that image was produced using Photoshop right? And we will rather add or change info to make image looks like it was really taken using real camera.
