Date and Time adjustments for multiple photos

Hello, thanks for providing the space for new users, and thanks in advance for your assistance.
I am currently moving out of apple aperture/iphoto and across to lightroom 5.
The OCD part of me likes to have my library organized, and I noticed that when I transferred my library across it is in a bit of a mess, so I am currently in the process of organizing the library and cleaning it up (approximately 18000 photos)
Any how, I have almost settled on a folder structure (YYYY/MM - I feel for the number of photos I have trying to nut down to day might be to much - happy to receive advise on this also)
For the most part, the photos have correct date and time from the commencement of the digital era (for me 2006 onwards)
Photos pre 2006 are in negative form, and I am currently in process of having these scanned and imported into library, I have a batch done every month. Adjusting the date and time from the creation date is where I am running into trouble.
I have looked around the web and various forums to no avail.
Firstly, I organize the photos into the correct order. I then select the first photo and the then select the remaining photos. I then select the adjust date/time from the menu and select the first option, adjust to new date and time, lets say 01/01/1990 at 1200 PM.
The result I end up with is the first photo (the more selected photo if correct term) has 01/01/1990 @ 1200 as date and time, the remaining have 01/01/1990 as date (if I am lucky), and the times jump all over the place. Sometimes it wont even change the date time for the remaining photos.
What I am trying to achieve is either the same Date/Time for all the photos when I select a batch, or have them increment in time by a standard amount (i.e 1 minute (1200/1201/1202) or 1 second (1200:00/1200:01/1200:02)), and I just dont seem to be able to work this out to automatically do this, currently I have to achieve this by a manual adjusting each photo (some 200 at a time) which is really labor intensive
Thanks in advance, and hoping an easy solution
Regards
Dean

Thanks, that seemed to fix the problem.
Workflow is:
1) In grid view arrange photos in correct order
2) Rename photos with a name & sequence (i.e. photos-1), this appears to then keep the photos organized as how I had arranged in grid view
3) Export photos & delete original photos from my master library
4) Open exported photos in an EXIF editor and change date & time to a common format (I am currently using the seasons as a guide, i.e. the photos that I recall being taken in spring are dated the first day of spring, using noon as the time)
5) Import back to Lightroom and organizing as per my usual structure.
This has allowed me to easily batch change date and times, keeping the correct order and has drastically reduce my workload, thanks for the suggestion!

Does photoshop have a simple date and time stamp for photos taken?

I am an enforcement office and require date and time to be printed on my photos. Does this app give me that feature?

HI Lbheobrown,
I think this might be too specialized a feature to be something that every Photoshop Touch user would need/want. I went to the app store and just did a search for "timestamp" (no qoutes with the actual search). I did find some apps that read the metadata and can add timestamp info to photos. You might be able to timestamp your photos first with some other app then import the images into PS Touch.
Some of the apps I saw were
- StampPhoto - added timestamp and geotagging location info (included a little map of the location on the photo itself)
- phoTime - has a camera button in the app that adds the timestamp at the bottom as photos are taken
- Timestamp It! - New and existing photo support, change text color, custom date and time entry support
You might investigate these further, all were in the $1 app price range
Hope that helps,
-Dave

Need help restoring the CORRECT dates and times to iphoto '09 photos

I have read a lot of stuff on here about restoring dates and times in iphoto only to no avail. All I want to know is: 1 - how did all the dates of my photos get changed in the first place? ; 2 - how can I restore them to their original dates?

Well, I noticed my dates were incorrect weeks ago. The only thing I did was upgrade from '08 to '09. I tried using "adjust date & time" but I would have to know all the dates by memory in order for that to work. My dates are all recent dates. Sorry for the ambiguity.
Forget what I said about the event labels. They are titles I made for each event; however, all of the dates are incorrect. Maybe my camera is to blame!

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

How do you edit out the date and time stamp from a photo

You can blur it out with retouch
The built-in "Retouch" brush in "Edit" mode should suffice, if the background is mostly uniform, and if you set the size of the brush to slightly wider than the bar width of the letters. For example, in this picture I removed the year from the date (in the lower right corner) by using the "retouch" brush and following the contours of the letters. (the screen shot is from iPhoto '11, but iPhoto 9 should give similar results).

Date and Time Issue for Mult Org...

Hello,
How can I manage the date time, if my organizations have different plant and location?
I.e. The database server located in Pacific Time zone and the application may access from new plant German time zone.
Whenever the German business center enters any sales transaction it should take German current date and time instead of Pacific Time.
Pls advice me
Thanks,Raghu.K

Hi,
While defining a Location, you can mention the time zone for that location and also the inventory organisation to which this location belongs.
So, this location can be assigned to your organisations. You can access the time zone according to the location you select.

Date and time stamp for movie. How?

I need the date of a movie--or clips from movies---made with a Flip camera. How do I get that date to appear on the footage?

Hi
I never seen any way to do this in iMovie - any version (may be me to illitterated)
But - I've used a way around - by going via Analog out from Camera (my can show date and time on TV) - then to an A/D-box (I use a Canopus ADVC-300 - now named Grass-Valley ADVC-300) and from this via FireWire to iMovie or FinalCut.
Picture quality is lost this way (can be handled somewhat better in FCE/P) but it works.

Date and Time stamp for the archives

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a date/time stamp field for a Documaker archive.
I've added a TIME_STAMP field in my APPIDX.DFD and I populate the field using a DAL script, invoked by a PreTransDAL line in my AFGJOB file. That works fine but, the DAL script being invoked for every transaction, it adds to the processing time.
I do not need an exact date/time stamp for each transaction in the batch, I could use the same one for all the transactions. That would require the TIME_STAMP global variable to be populated once, at the job level, at the beginning of each batch.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Gaetan,
Try using a BatchBannerBeginScript to populate a GVM with the date/time, and then reference this GVM in your APPIDX.DFD. In this manner the value will be updated at the start of processing for each batch rather than each transaction. Or, consider the possibility of adding the transaction date/time into the extract data and then sourcing from that point. Either should work. In my experience most customers prefer that the archive date/time come from the system of record rather than the time the transaction was archived -- unless of course the customer actually wants to record the time the transaction was archived, in which case the method I've described above should work.
Enjoy!

Editing Time interval for multiple photos in iPhoto

Is it possible to edit the time of multiple photos in iMovie '08, without editing all of them?

Is it possible to edit the time of multiple photos in iMovie '08, without editing all of them?
Have not checked to see if there have been any recent, new changes, however, the old method was to select and change one photo manually and then select and paste its settings to all of the rest of the photos at once.

Date and time stamp for the file

Hi Experts,
My Requirement is to create a csv file with the name testfile_date&timestamp.
If i select add time stamp in the receiver file communication channel the file be as testfile_yyyymmdd_hhmmss_XXX.
The XXX is message id which comes by default by selecting add timestamp option.
but, i don't want the message id displayed in the file name.As i know from the blogs we can reach this requirement as per Michels blog
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/10/xi-the-same-filename-from-a-sender-to-a-receiver-file-adapter--sp14
I am not clear in the mapping. after writing the udf, to which filed i need to map with that udf.
can you please tell me stel by step how how to do mapping and how to achieve the requirement. request you to send the code forthe udf.
Thanks
Rahul

Hi,
you can wirte udf and map it to root element of the target message type. u just need to execute the udf.
UDF:
// UDF havs one input parameter - timestamp
Code:
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container .getTransformationParameters().get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create("http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File","FileName");
String OldFileName = conf.get(key);
String newFileName = "";
if (OldFileName != null) {
newFileName = "testfile_" +timestamp ;
conf.put(key, newFileName);
return newFileName;
Mapping:
Date (standard function) [Formmat yyyyMMdd_hhmmss] -> UDF -> MesageType.
Thanks.

I have a iphone 3 and want to know if there is a date and time stamp on the phone for the pictures

is there a date and time stamp for pictures on iphone 3?

Open a one of your pictures in any photo app on your computer and see if the metadata is there. I'd be surprised if it isn't.

Naming for Export dmp file in Date and Time

Dear All,
Please advise me how to give the file name in date and time stamp for the export dmp file and it's log file.Suggest me in Oracle 9i version.
for example the file name get like this 020420041155.dmp and 020420041155.log where date and time are 02/04/2004 11:55 respectively...
Kindly let me know the syntax of filename to be given along with the EXP command..
Thanking You,
Ragesh

Hello
I don't think you can get the exp command to automatically name an export for you. The only way I think you would be able to do it is through a shell script or something where you format the file name yourself and pass it to exp. If you wanted to you could generate the command line through a SQL statement and then spool it out to a file i.e.
spool runexp.bat
select 'exp user/pwd@tns file='||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,'DDMMYYYYHH24MI')||'.dmp tables=(table1,table2)' from dual;
spool offThe second option isn't as flexible as the first but if it's just a couple of exports you have to do, it will probably prove to be less work
