Changing meta data of a photo

Is there a way to alter the meta data of a photo taken with my digital camera and imoorted into iPhoto?
I took photos whilst in Singapore but forgot to change the time on my camera to Singapore time, GMT+8hrs. I also took some photos on my phone camera, which did have the correct time. Consequently, when I imported photos from both devices, the chronological order is messed up. I need to change the time data of the digital camera files to correct the sequence.

In iPhoto select the photos with the incorrect date/time and go to the photos menu ==> change date and time
give it the correct information for the first photo and it will automatically correct all of them to the correct date and time
You can select modify original photo if that is what you want

  • I can't change the date on my photos. i click on adjust change and date and it does not give me the earliest date to change

    I can't change the date on my photos in events. I click on adjust date and time of selected photos and the date that I can edit is the oldest photo date and not the earliest. Help?

    iPhoto should be showing you the date of the first photo you selected.
    What do you want to achieve? It should not matter, which photo you select to adjust the time, because all photos will be corrected by the same fixed increment, if you use "Adjust Date and Time".
    If you want to set all photos to the same time, use "Photos > Batch Change > Set Date to" instead.

  • Change the date on a photo?

    Does anyone know how to change the date on a photo?  When someone sends me an old pic in a text and I save it, it automatically uses today's date.  Also, how do you update camera pics save on the phone taken on a camera with the wrong date and time?  It drives me nuts when the pictures taken on the same day and event don't show up together.  Thanks in advance for your help!

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • Using Aobe Photoshop Elements 6:  1.  How to download photos in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  2.  Changing the date on each photo

    Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 6:
    1.  How can I get the 2000 photos I downloaded in the same order as on the smart card from which I downloaded them?  (This will help me label them correctly)
    2.  How can I change the date on each photo? (I want to sort by date the picture was taken, not the date it was downloaded.
    Thank you!

    You indicated that the images "seemed" to be in the right order.  It might be a good idea to rename the images on export using a custom name/sequence.  If you have done that and the images are still not in order, it's possible that your operating system browsing window is using a different sort order.  I sometimes change windows explorer to sort by file type, and then files are sometimes in what seems be a strange order.

  • Can i change the dates of my photo's?

    Hello, I took some photo's with my pentax camera but didn't notice that it had the wrong date on them. Which meant that when i imported into iphoto it shows them in the worng chronological order.
    Is there any way i can change the date on the photo's???

    Hi there,
    You should be able to change the date in the source column (left column, bottom). I've done this and seems to work. It does rearrange items as dates are changed both in the library and in the iPhoto folders...
    BTW - I use 'Film Rolls' view...
    Good luck, Rick

  • Best Practice for attaching Meta Data, Organizing & Archiving Photos

    I am about to start the daunting task of organizing and archiving ALL of my photos so that I can access them from an external hard drive (or two) when I need them. I want to know/understand the best way to do this before I start so that thousands of hours later I don't realize that I have not considered something critical. I have already spent hours trying to find this information online to no satisfactory avail. I have both iPhoto ('09 v8.1.2) and Aperture 3, which I am just learning to use. I am wanting to back up to my WD My Book. I have already transferred some pictures and realized that, though I had them nicely organized in Albums in iPhoto, that information doesn't transfer over to the My Book so the file names are unrecognizable as any type of descriptor. I believe that I need to assign some Meta Data (?) to each photo so that I can do searches to find particular people or subjects when needed.
    Here are all of the things I want/need to know:
    1. Which Mac program would be best to accomplish attaching MetaData or adjusting file names: iPhoto or Aperture 3?
    2. What is the best way to attach MetaData to pictures so that the information is permanent? Tagging (allowing multiple search options)? Batch Name Change (allowing limited search capabilities)? Other?
    a. If I TAG all of my photos and then try to use that information outside of iPhoto or Aperture 3 (from the external HD) will it still be accessible for searches?
    3. After attaching all of this information, what do I need to know about transferring the photos to an external HD? Are there multiple copies of the same photo (original, edited) and if so, are both transferred? Are they both deleted when I move the pictures to the trash?
    4. Is there anything else that I need to know??
    Your expertise would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You are trying to defeat the photo management of iPhoto - My suggestion is to learn iPhoto and use it of choose another program - iPhoto does not work well unless it manages the entire library and you access it using the tools build into the OS - click here for a discussion on the many correct and safe ways to access your iPhoto library photos.
    Aperture may or may not be a better choice - try the Aperture forum for detailed info
    Backing up iPhoto is trivial - simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to another hard drive - or use an incremental backup program to do it as changes are made - I use Time Machine to one backup drive and SuperDuper to another
    I believe that I need to assign some Meta Data (?) to each photo so that I can do searches to find particular people or subjects when needed.
    This is an integral part of iPhoto and one of its strengths
    1. Which Mac program would be best to accomplish attaching MetaData or adjusting file names: iPhoto or Aperture 3?
    iPhoto does a great job of this - file names are only adjusted when you export - and there is no need for them to be adjusted within the iPhoto library since you never should be going into it directly and never need to see the files directly
    2. What is the best way to attach MetaData to pictures so that the information is permanent?
    Exporting from iPhoto
    Tagging (allowing multiple search options)?
    Using iPhoto and the OS tools
    Batch Name Change (allowing limited search capabilities)?
    Done during export if desired
    Other?
    Depends
    a. If I TAG all of my photos and then try to use that information outside of iPhoto or Aperture 3 (from the external HD) will it still be accessible for searches?
    In iPhoto yes so long as you are not going directly into the iPhoto library but are using the provided tools
    3. After attaching all of this information, what do I need to know about transferring the photos to an external HD?
    Simply drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the EHD - the database is a single entity and it will be the same there (so long as the EHD is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled)
    Are there multiple copies of the same photo (original, edited) and if so, are both transferred?
    Yes - Yes
    Are they both deleted when I move the pictures to the trash?
    You do not move photos to the trash - you select them in iPhoto and press the delete key then empty the iPhoto trash (iPhoto menu ==> empty iPhoto trash)
    4. Is there anything else that I need to know??
    Lots - if you are going to use iPhoto stop thinking of managing files and start thinking of using a SQL database which is what iPhoto is -- otherwise you need to use a different program

  • Batch change does not change meta data name when exporting or copy

    I use batch change to change the name of an event when photos from more than one source (camera) are imported. When I copy or export the photos the name reverts to the original meta data file. I do this to override duplicate names. For instance photos from two cameras taking pictures of the same event can have identical names such as IMG_0100. Iphoto does not show all the metadata on info but does show the change in the name when viewing info in iphoto.
    Is there some way to permanently change the name on photos using a group or batch method?

    No you're not changing any filenames at all.
    There is no way to change a filename in iPhoto at all. What you with Batch Change is add a Title to the photo. A Title is an entry in the metadata.
    You can set the name of an exported file to be the same as the title, when you export... if you choose that option.

  • How do I change the date of a photo in iPhoto?

    I need to change the date of when the pic was taken because it is wrong what do I need to do?

    Depends
    The general answer is the batch change ==> data and time command which changes a photo or group of photos to a specific date/time with an option to add a fixed increment to the time on multiple photos
    But if you have a special situation like a camera with an incorrect date/time then you use the adjust time and date command

  • Changing the date on a photo?

    So I have this album from a trip that has, oh, 600 photos in it. What I didn't realize at the time was that the imprint date on the camera was like 2 1/2 years off. For proper organization, I'd like to change the dates on all the photos.
    Is there a way to change the dates on batches of photos, or do I have to go through and do it manually one by one?

    Select the photo you want to change and go to the Photos->Batch Change menu option and select Date in the next windows menu.

  • Can I use ReadXML/WriteXML to change Meta Data Set Type?

    Has anyone successfully changed which Meta Data Set an asset is using? In the XML description of the asset there's this entry:
    <mdValue fieldName="Metadata Set" dataType="string">paassetmedia</mdValue>
    but if I try to change it by using this XML statment it doesn't change:
    <FinalCutServer>
    <request reqId="setMd" entityId="/asset/4922">
    <params>
    <mdValue fieldName="Metadata Set" dataType="string">paassetshot</mdValue> </params>
    </request>
    </FinalCutServer>
    I know the XML is working because I can change any mdValue besides the MetaData Set.
    Ideas?

    Nick is correct - the only way that you are going to be able to change the MD Set for a given asset is to duplicate it and to delete the original. I've had to do this a few times, using search expired + subscription + responses to do the trick.
    Ideally you get the md set right when you first add the assets

  • Can you change the date stamps on photos on iPad3?

    When I add photos from my digital camera, any photos that have been edited on my camera show on my iPad with the wrong date even though on my camera the date stamp is correct. It's very strange, is there anyway to change the date of photos once on your iPad so that they show in the right album when viewing photos on the events tab. Thanks in advance for any reply x

    I've posted this in another query of mine regarding keeping a separate bootpd log file. Two birds, one stone.
    syslog -u -E safe -k Sender bootpd -k Time ge -24h > DHCPday.log
    cat DHCP.log DHCPday.log> DHCPtemp.log
    cp DHCPtemp.log DHCP.log
    The -u switch on syslog causes it to output the timestamp in UTC, thus it includes the year. By incorporating this script as a cron job, the server is now keeping a growing record of DHCP allocations with a full datetime stamp for later processing.
