Adding Date/Time on photos?

I have a Canon SD800IS camera and it does not seem to allow me to put a timestamp on the actual photo unless it's in some specific high resolution portrait picture mode. Is there some way iPhoto can put the date on my photos? It's amazing my expensive camera does not have this feature, unless i'm wrong, it does have the date and time but i see no option to timestamp my photos. Thanks.

On page 38 of the User Guide for your camera, it tells you to put the camera in Postcard Mode and then on the bottom of the page it shows how to turn on the date stamp. I don't know if you want to use this mode or not though.
iPhoto cannot add the date stamp to your photo. I searched VersionTracker.com and found 2 programs for Windows that can add the date stamp but I didn't find any for MacOS X.

How to print date & time in photos

Thanks for the help.
I need to print either photos with time and dates in them... or the Bridge contact sheet with date and time info.
The final printed image will be used in court to photo document evidence.
Do I have to do a screen capture or is there some other way?
My camera will not allow me to imprint time and date.
I'm using CS4 on both Windows and Mac.
Thanks again in advance for the taking the time to help.

I think there are (various) Scripts about for that.
For example addExifDate1.5.jsx:

One should be able to adapt it to include the time.
You could ask in the Photoshop Scripting Forum or http://www.ps-scripts.com/

N95 DAte & time in photos

How can i put date & time in my photos?

You can edit your pictures in the PC and add the date and time stamp there but I don't know of any fast and easy way to do it.
Anyway, the metadata of the picture has the date and time that the picture was taken so you can still organize the pictures in your pc by date taken.

Adding date/time stamp to images

Hi all, we are working with multiples video sources with JMF. Now we need to add on each stream a date/time stamp and a name of the source camera.
Does someone knows how we can do it without manipulate each frame on each source ?
Thanks in advance and best regards.

Adding Date & Time to Comments

I am trying to implement a clean & efficient way to tag files that are uploaded (into a Smart Folder) of one of our directories with the current Date/Time and thought this would best sit in the Spotlight Comments field. Reason being that we would like to see the time the file was uploaded (possibly finally viewed in list view to be sorted by that column - may have to use 3rd party App to visibly see that comment field) when Created/Modified Time is not going to be accurate & updated enough for our purposes. Will the Automator > Add Spotlight Comments accept a variable of this type or does this have to be AppleScripted? If anyone has a reference to a walkthrough or a simple solution, it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advanced!

Adding Date/Time Field + X Number of Days - Basic Calculation Question

I am assuming this is a basic calculation question. New to Adobe LiveCycle Forms.
I have a simple form containing a table. The table appears as such:
Text
Formatted as Date/Time Fields
Header 3
Monday
user wil choose the beginning date (Date/Time) this is DateTimeField1
Tuesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 1
Wednesday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 2
Thursday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 3
Friday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 4
Saturday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 5
Sunday
this should calculate DateTimeField1 + 6
Calculations are performed after the date is chosen for Monday. My mind tells me the simple calculation of DateTimeField1 + 1 is not going to work (and in fact doesn't!) as it needs to change Monday to a number first. I saw on another thread the following:
Num2Date(Date2Num(Date(DateTimeField1), "DD.MM.YYYY")+7, "DD.MM.YYYY")
Thought this was going to get me close. No cigars though!
Any quick help is greatly appreciated. And since I am new to this, details about what needs to be changed would be great too!
Thanks

Here an addition for you date field.
This FormCalc script in the exit:Event will check it the selected date is on a monday.
If not it will go the days back until the last monday.
var Selection = Date2Num($.formattedValue, DateFmt(2))
var WeekDay = Num2Date(Selection, "E")
var NewDate
if (WeekDay eq 1) then
          NewDate = Selection - 6
elseif (WeekDay eq 3) then
          NewDate = Selection - 1
elseif (WeekDay eq 4) then
          NewDate = Selection - 2
elseif (WeekDay eq 5) then
          NewDate = Selection - 3
elseif (WeekDay eq 6) then
          NewDate = Selection - 4
elseif (WeekDay eq 7) then
          NewDate = Selection - 5
else
          NewDate = Selection
endif
$ = Num2Date(NewDate, "EEE DD.MM.YYYY")
Hope this helps, too.

PSE 10 organizer changing date times of photos

I have been having an issue since PSE9 which continues into PSE 10 organizer. After scaning photos and saving into organizer it will not allow assingment of jsut a year or a year month. If I take an old family photo and change date (scanned date) to year 1930 with unknown month it appears to take. Nect I time go into organizer it has changed the date to 12/31/1929. When I assign year and month with no date it will assing a day. PSE 10 also changes time of raw photos, keeps correct year, month, and day but changes time to the time file imported. If I correct the time it appears to take but it reverts back. This has become a major issue as I have over 16K of pictures and have scanned in thousands of old family photos, reasearching dates to use, it is extremetly frustarating to have a program that changes these settings.

PSE 10 organizer now displays SAMSUNG CAMERA PICTURES as the title for every imported image. This is very annoying. How to I prevent PSE from assigning this attribute to the title metadata upon import? I have thousands of photos, and going through each one to delete the title isn't really an option. Has anyone encountered this type of behavoir?
Windows 7 pro, if that matters.

Adjusting Date & Time of Photos

Under the Image menu, there's an option to change the date and time. When I click on a group of 20 photos and choose that option, it that all 20 will be adjusted. But not all 20 are actually adjusted. What am i missing?

Hi Terence, thanks for your reply. Here is a couple of images of what the photo data looks like while on the hard drive (note the 2007 date), and after being imported to Photos for Mac (where the 2007 date has completely disappeared and therefore it organises it as a 2015 photo. Does this help?

How do I preserve date/time when converting to DNG?

When I convert a file to DNG format in Lightroom, it changes the capture time in the metadata to the current date and time, rather than copying the source data. Is there a way in which I can tell it to leave my dates alone?

You wrote: “I noticed my mistake. It seems that what the conversion process was changing was the ‘Metadata Date’ and ‘Date Time’ fields, but ‘Date Time ‘" and ‘Date Time Digitized’ were remaining the proper, original date. The cause of my confusion was that my Metadata panel view was hiding all but the ‘Date Time’ field, so it appeared as though it had overwritten my prior date information.”
Date/times in photo metadata can be very confusing. There are all these fields with confusing names imposed by legacy industry standards -- I challenge anyone except a metadata nerd like me to remember the meanings and differences of Date/Time, Date/Time Original, Date/Time Digitized, Capture Time, Metadata Date, Modify Date, .... The worst are the two XMP fields Date Created and Create Date, which have two very different meanings! And every app and operating system makes a half-hearted attempt to "simplify" it for the user by choosing different names.
LR makes no serious attempt to make this easy for the user, and over the first several versions, it's handling of date/times was pretty sloppy. (It still has outstanding bugs that don't crop up that often in practice.) You would think that at least LR would provide roll-over tool tips on the field names in the Metadata panel explaining each field.

IPhoto gets the wrong date/time when importing photos

I just imported a bunch of photos from a Canon Digital Rebel XT. I took the photos today, 10/22/05, but iPhoto has them labelled with yesterday's date. Furthermore, the times are incorrect, with AM and PM apparently switched.
Looking back now, it seems that there's the same problem with all of the photos I've imported with this camera (which I got last month). I don't know if iPhoto has been screwing these things up the whole time, or if this is something that just happened.
I've just triple checked the date/time setting on the camera and confirmed that it is correct. I've confirmed that my computer's date & time are correct also. The other data imported with each photo appears to be correct (e.g. camera make & modal, focal length, ISO speed, etc.).
Anyone have any idea what's going on and how I can fix it?

Jason,
Which date are you referring to? The EXIF date that is in the Get info window, or the date that is listed in the left info window. If it is the date that is in the info window on the left it is easy enough to fix. Just highlight and put in the correct date. If you need to do this to a lot of images then use the batch change function.
If the EXIF data is wrong, I recommend using the software from canon to get the best EXIF data added to your pics. I realize this adds an additional step, but it will fix your problem. The other thing is that if you start to shoot in RAW, your camera is not supported by iPhoto. So if you attempt to import RAW files from the XT directly into iPhoto it will not import them. I have this camera and it is one of the reasons I have stopped using iPhoto for most things.
You can get the latest versions of the canon software from Canon.com I recommend using these as they are much better than what was in the box that came with my XT. If you plan on working with RAW get the Digital Photo Professional (DDP) Along with the Canons image browser. Both work well on my powerbook and should be great on a Powermac.
Hope this helps.

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

How to print date & time stamp on photos?

Three methods:
File>process multiple files>labels. Be sure to uncheck "same as source", or the originals will be overwritten. It is best to work on duplicate files, esp. while learning.
Use the horizontal or vertical type tool to add the information manually to each picture file
If the same information is to be applied to several pictures, e.g. a copyright notice, use of a brush made in PSE is very efficient

FCP 6 - How to sort clips (photos) by Date/Time (only)?

Hello All;
I am trying to do something farily simple (I think) but it doesn't seem to be working.
Here's my situation - I am creating a video slide show in FCP consisting probably of about 250 photos from about four different sources but all taken over about 4 days. I imported all of them into a single bin of FCP. I simply want to order each of those photos by the DATE/TIME. If I right-click, I am only able to order by filename or size. However, it I right-click and select "view as list", I am able to reorder by date but it even though it does reorder by date, they are still sorted by filename so this isn't what I want.
Anyone know an easy way (preferably) that i can order a directory exclusively by date/time irrespective of the filename or any other item which I can then move into a FCP timeline ?
Thanks.
Tim

Get a copy of [File Sequencer|http://www.johnnarun.com/file_sequencer>.
Place your photos into a folder and set it to List View, sorted by creation date.
Start File Sequencer and determine a starting number, then point it at the folder of images.
You can then import the images into FCP in the right order. They will be sorted by their new name.
It's pretty much self-explanatory to use but you might want to do this on a small batch of copies of your images first, to get the hang of it.

How can I preserve the date and time of photos when moving them from iPhone to iPhoto and then to other folders on my computer?

In the past I’ve had no problem moving photos from my iPhone 4 into various folders on my computer while retaining their original date and time. I would import into iPhoto, then drag the photos from iPhoto into other folders via the Finder or Adobe Bridge (which is my principal image organizer). The original date and time of the photo would always travel with the jpeg into iPhoto and then into other folders. However, sometime during a recent session transferring photos in this way, the dates of the photos started to change at the point when I copied them out of iPhoto. Within iPhoto itself, the various original dates of the photos are retained. But in Finder and Bridge, copies of those same photos all carry the same (worthless) date: the date and time that they were imported from my iPhone. I can’t figure out what would have changed on my Mac to make it start re-dating my photos. I was happily dragging and dropping photos, and suddently I started to lose the original dates. Did I inadvertently change some settings? (I am running OS 10.6.8 and using iPhoto 8.)

(I use iPhoto only to import from my iPhone; I organize all my images, including thousands of RAW files, in folders on a big external drive.)
Why are you using iPhoto at all? use image capture or drag and drop the photos
The problem is that the files I am copying are getting stripped of the EXIF metadata
eliminating iPhoto from your work flow will eliminate one oppertunity to have this happen For photos in iPhoto it is best to export them rather than drag an drop them - this assures your EXIF and IPTC data is correct and uptodate
Why would I be able, over many years, to retain EXIF metadata in photos imported from an iPhone--then one day find that the same workflow strips such photos of EXIF data?
Because exporting is the supported way to "export" photos - I never drag and drop photos out of iPhoto and I never use thrid party programs on the photos in the iPhoto library - try exporting as suggested above and see if that is the solution

How can I put current date and time in Photo Info (Print module)?

I often use the Photo Info option in the Print Module to caption my proofs with File Number plus the date and time the print is made. This allows me to match up the print to the History state for the image, so I know which print version I'm looking at. I've always wanted to get Lightroom to automatically enter the date and time the print is made. It obviously knows this info, since it stamps the History state with date and time. Currently I have to modify my caption manually with Custom text each time I make a print. This is a major PITA. Has anyone figured out how to get Lightroom to do this?

There is a Date/Time title in the titles browser, does just what it says...
