Is it possible?

I just tried using "Minimize EXIF Data" when exporting with LR3, however, it strips some info that I want to keep (camera, lens, settings, etc.).
Is there any way to remove only the information that I don't want (i.e. all those dates that are listed, image number, etc.)?

Minimize Embedded Metadata will take all data away except the data you enter in the copyright metadata fields as well as image dimensions and thumbnail. To selectively remove data, you can use a tool like ExifTool which you will find here (http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/).

Take a look here (http://mansurovs.com/how-to-delete-exif-data) for more information.

Thanks for the tip. Now I can steal other people's work!
