EXIF date adjustment - how to adjust years?

I was abroad some months ago, and made several hundreds of pictures. I also got pictures from my friend. It turns out his camera date was set (or perhaps wasn't set at all!) to 2030-10-12 01:30:00AM, while in reality it was 2006-09-09 10:30:00AM.
My question is - how can I adjust year, month and date in EXIF headers? Because now I cannot auto rename files - I get wrong names based on EXIF info, I also cannot sort these files by date, because they are always at the end of the list, and do not merge with my images, as they should (based on real date/time).
Is there anything I can do? Adjust Time Zone doesn't help here - that adjusts only few hours, but I need to change date in EXIF by several years...

You could try "A Better Finder Attributes" - part of a great OS X utility:
http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderAttributes/index.html
I believe you would have to do this BEFORE importing into Aperture, but its date options are quite nice.
I use "A Better Finder Rename" to handle all my naming before importing, and I often have to tweek the date/time attributes as well. Funny how I always forget that when travelling!

    You had to reinstall CS6 after cancelling the CC as both were from the same Adobe ID. You can always use & keep both CC & CS6 together.

  • PSE8 deletes EXIF data?

    I used PSE8 to remove redeye from a picture and noticed that when I save the file, it creates XMP data but deletes the EXIF data. How can I retain the EXIF data because I do not want to delete it? I've done some searching but other than using EXIFTool to move XMP data back to EXIF, I don't see how to keep it after editing and saving.

    Here's what's happening: PSE is deleting the manufacturer's proprietary MakerNotes section from the metadata.  Each manufacturer has its own format for the MakerNotes fields, which encode lots of details about the camera, lens, and exposure.  Most programs do not correctly preserve the MakerNotes, due to poor design of the MakerNotes on the part of the manufacturers.
    PSE is preserving all the industry-standard EXIF fields (Camera Model, ISO, F Number, Exposure Time, Exposure Program, etc.).  PSE is also adding a new XMP section to the metadata, copying the industry-standard EXIF fields into the XMP section.
    It's annoying that PSE often deletes the MakerNotes section.  On the other hand, but most of the basic exposure information is preserved in the industry-standard EXIF and XMP fields.  And if you keep the unedited originals (always a good practice), you still have access to the MakerNotes (albeit a little inconveniently).
    See the attached files for Exiftool's dump of the metadata from the two files:

  • Does Adjust Date & Time Modify EXIF data?

    If I use the adjust date and time does it modify the exif data in the original photo, so if I export the photos elsewhere it will preserve these edits? I was using Picasa and fixed the date and time on a few photos only to find them back to 1/1/2002 when I imported my photos to iPhoto

    I just saw this checkbox today and hoped it meant that. I've really wanted this feature for a long time now.

  • How to copy EXIF data for a single photo?

    Hello,
    I post photographs to a few different photo forums for community comment and critique. Including the basic technical data for each photograph is common and having to type it in manually is tedious. Is there a quick and easy way to copy or extract basic EXIF data (exposure, focal length, EV, ISO, exposure program, metering, make, model, lens) for a single photo to the clipboard? The information is all over LR I just can't determine how to get it out quickly.
    Thanks for your help!
    Best,
    Eric

    I don't see anyone provided you with an answer.
    The hard way is to export the metadata to the file and use an external program. There are many programs that manipulate metadata. I haven't wanted to export it in the way you describe.
    What operating system are you on?

  • When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get

    When I attempt to apply a lens profile in the Develop module the only choices are for the Fujifilm X100/S/T even though in the Library module the EXIF data correctly shows the camera as the X-T1 and the precise lens used to take the picture. How do I get the right profile available?

    First, the required profile needs to be present. LR 5.4 supports the X-T1 in terms of understanding its Raw format, but will not come with a profile for every lens which can be mounted onto that.
    A profile is made for each specific lens, as mounted on a certain camera. It can also be used with pictures taken on a different (reasonably similar) camera body than the one originally used during profiling. This is subject to the sensor format: you can employ a given lens profile made for full frame, on an image from a crop sensor behind the same lens - but not vice versa.
    Next, the image type needs to correspond to the image type which has been built into the profile: Raw, or non-Raw.
    Lightroom offers only profiles of the right type for the image(s) concerned. There are many more provided for correcting camera Raw, than for correcting camera JPG. That is also the case with additional profiles, e.g. those accessed via the Adobe lens profile downloader utility.
    Finally, in the event that there simply is no profile out there for a given lens, it is not particularly difficult (though a little tedious) for the end user to generate one, using a further Adobe utility which is downloadable as a package, including a range of checkerboard calibration targets, each of which needs to be printed at a stated physical size.

  • How to embed my name within multiple image's EXIF data at once-Bridge CS3

    I've been trying to figure out how to do this for some time and just can't understand how to get my images both Raw and JPEGs to show my name in the EXIF copyright or author entry when entering it in the "File Info" dialog box so it shows up viewing EXIF data using EXIF Viewer or within Bridge CS3.
    Can I get some help on this? Point me to a tutorial or something?
    I've already read Bridge Help and it's worded in such a way that isn't very clear to me on how to do this.
    Thank you for your help on this.

    Let me see if I understand this correctly. That "Digital Workflow 1" pdf told me to uncheck all IPTC boxes which is opposite what you just said.
    You are free to create the workflow that suits you, check or uncheck IPTC in Bridge prefs is only a way to organize the view in the metadata panel, not adding or deleting info from it.
    So I'm suppose to enter my name in the IPTC Contact-"Creator" entry section within the "File Info" dialog box of a selected image/images within Bridge CS3 and check the IPTC boxes in the Metadata section of Bridge's Preferences dialog box to turn them on so my name I entered as "Creator" in "File Info"/IPTC can be seen in the Metadata placard Bridge work space interface but does NOT guarantee my name will be EMBEDED IN THE EXIF of the selected image/images?
    As above, all info you add to IPTC and apply to an image is embedded in the exif and xmp data of that file, no matter if the boxes are checked or unchecked for visibility in metadata panel.
    IOW checking the IPTC boxes in Bridge's Metadata Preferences is just for previewing within Metadata Placard work space interface in Bridge? I'm using Filmstrip view as a Bridge work space BTW.
    Yes. And consider an other workspace for metadata, I attach some screenshots from my workspace I crerated myself in Bridge using the prefs and drag and drop with panels. It is from Bridge CS4 and apart from the top pathbar it is basicly the same as CS3.
    Filmstrip is very nice for sorting with big preview but not the best for adding metadata. You can create as many workspace as you like and you can easily switch between them (in CS3 use the number buttons bottom right.
    To actually embed my name entered as "Creator" in "File Info" IPTC section in a selected image/image's EXIF data I have to apply a custom made template to the image/images already residing on the hard drive and viewed in Bridge OR append the IPTC data within the EXIF of the image/images upon import from camera CF card reader through Bridge's "Get Photos From Camera" drop down menu. Correct?
    Yes, I have choosen for the last option because now all my downloaded files have this template in it and I don't have to bother later. No matter if the files are keepers or not. You only have to create a template once. See also a screenshot from the info I filled to the template but it is up to you what you like to appear in there.
    Another question, what is the difference between the "Description" section where you can enter "Author" (which would be my name) and the IPTC Contact section where you can enter "Creator" (again, my name) both within "File Info" dialog box?
    check this wikipedia info about IPTC:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Press_Telecommunications_Council
    Another question, I just selected a batch of images within a folder in Bridge and tried to create a Metadata Template and it shows a blank box with a statement at the bottom "Only checked properties will be added/changed to this template"...and below this "Properties selected: 0". What and where are checked properties? Does that mean I have to check the IPTC boxes in Bridge's Metadata Preferences?
    Don't know that. You should first create a template without selecting multiple files. After you saved this template select the files you want to change and click on the append template option.
    I have to wonder how and why another photographer would need all this nested clutter to accommodate alternate workflows on something as simple as input/output processing on a batch of images. It's beyond my understanding. This just seems way too complicated to have to sort out. Just my opinion.
    Nothing is ever that simple as it seems....

  • How To Remove Exif Data

    Hi,
    Can you tell me how to remove all exif data, tags, etc from a photo?  And, how to batch remove?  Do you have to add a plug in?
    Thanks,

    To strip exif data and tags.
    Sorry, I thought you were asking a follow-on question.  It didn't make any sense that you would ask about a plug-in if you were already told how to do it in Photoshop.
    Frankly, it doesn't make all that much sense to use Photoshop at all for the task.
    Have a look at the freeware viewer called IrfanView.  I believe it can be set to batch process a group of images, and save them back out without metadata.

  • EXIF Dates - how to add/change using exiv2 . . . is there a better way?

    Hi, everyone!
    INTRO: I'm new to Lightroom. I've gone through a few books and lots of tutorial courses on lynda and youtube, so I feel quite comfortable with LR 5's import process. This post and question is a pre-import/organizational issue.
    I have more than 30,000 old, digitized (scanned) photos dating back to the 1950s. Obviously, most of were taken with old, analog cameras. These are now organized into folders by date.
    GOAL: I want to import these photos into LR and be able to find them by metadata dates (Capture Date & Time).
    PROBLEM: Obviously, old scanned (or even more recent manipulated) photos often don't have the correct EXIF creation date info. Even worse, many (or most) of these old images don't even have an EXIF date field!
    WHAT I'VE LEARNED: Using exiv2 filename or evix2 -pt filename immediately shows whether there is or is not date info for the photo. If there isn't, exiv2 -pt filename shows nothing. If there is an EXIF date field, it will be shown.
    For all these images with no date field, if I import them into Lightroom, there of course is no date info that shows up in the Metadata panel (under Default or EXIF), nor can you change the date (because the field isn't even there).
    If exiv2 -pt filename DOES show the Exif.Image.DateTime field, then in Lightroom, you will see the Capture Time and Capture Date fields, and you will see an icon to the right of those dates that allows you to change that date.
    If exiv2 -pt filename DOES NOT show this Exif.Image.DateTime field, you can ADD this field by using the command line:
    exiv2 -M"set Exif.Image.DateTime Ascii 1965:01:25 15:45:00" filename (or whatever your date/time is).
    Now if you import this image into LR, you will find the Capture Time and Capture Date fields under the Metadata > Default panel...AND you can edit them if needed. That is, the above exiv2 -M command added the EXIF date field that LR needs in order to search by date.
    WHAT'S MY POINT, AND WHAT'S MY QUESTION? I have no problem using exiv2 to add/change an EXIF creation DateTime field one folder at a time prior to importing them into LR. This will enable me to search on those date fields**.
    My question is this: Is there an easier method?
    Surely there must be tens (hundreds?) of thousands of "older" photographers like myself who have troves of old photos that have incorrect EXIF creation date fields, or missing the date field entirely (in which case, as I stated above, cannot be added/edited using LR, PS, FileMultiTool, Graphic Converter, etc.).
    I realize that I could look at images based on the folder names or file names, or I could enter dates into tags, but such methods of finding images are not nearly as convenient as using Metadata. Therefore, if I know that an image was taken in June 1962, then I'd like the EXIF metadata to have this info so that I can search on it. To have no EXIF date field or to have a date field that is incorrect is useless.
    I'D LOVE YOUR COMMENTS! If there is an easier or better way, I'd love for you to help! There are so many experienced photographers on this forum, and more than likely many of them have old photos with incorrect or missing EXIF date fields that they've brought into LR.
    THANKS! I'll really appreciate any and all help you can offer.
    David
    ** there are other EXIF date fields that can be changed using exiv2: Exif.Photo.DateTimeOriginal, Exif.Photo.DateTimeDigitized, etc. But the principal date that LR uses to search for files is the one described above.
    P.S. I've also tried jhead -ds1965:01:25 filename (or whatever your date is) to change the date. This works ONLY IF there is already an EXIF date field present. If not, jhead will report an error and not create one. exiv2 -M will create the field.

    John,
    Thanks very much for your help! I had tried the plugin, exiv2, exiftool, and LR's Metadata menu option only on a single photo.
    You are 100% correct about LR's menu option assigning different times! Thank you for pointing this out.
    When I set the date and time for about 10 photos, LR's menu option assigned (seemingly random!) times to all of them. Why would LR do this? I can perhaps see offsetting each photo by 1 second (00, 01, 02,...), but simply assigning random times makes no sense at all. At least in the tests I just did, LR didn't shift the time by the same amount, but assigned totally (random?) times to every photo.
    Another problem that I found with the LR menu item is that it failed to change the date/time at all for several of the images I selected! The Capture Time To Exif plugin, exiv2, and exiftool had no problem at all with the same photos.
    I also looked at the ExifMeta by Rob Cole that you mentioned. It looks very powerful (and is free), but much more complex than what I need at this point.
    Therefore, I purchased the Capture Time To Exif plugin, and it works great on multiple photos.
    I now have good methods to change the date for multiple images:
    1. Prior to import: exiv2 or exiftool
    2. After import: John's Capture Time To Exif plugin
    Thank you again for your help!
    This brings me one step closer to importing my photos in a logical method.

  • How to insert EXIF date time data on photo using Photoshop CS5.5

    Is there any script or function available in photoshop CS5.5 which can help me in inserting date time from EXIF onto the photograph.
    An automated solution which can do multiple images at once will be preferable.

    Before proceeding further, it is to be highlighted that the version being referred to is Photoshop CS5 Extended which is actually Photoshop Version 12.1 and is a part of Adobe Master Collection CS5.5. A screenshot of the version information is attached below for information.
    Hence, I dont understand the concern expressed by many about the lowest version eligible for scripting being available in the product.
    My version is in effect 12.1 and not 7 or 8.
    Accordingly someone may advise on what script to use for inserting the EXIF data onto the image. I also want that the positioning of the text is predetermined and same for a batch of images required to be processed. I dont want to fix the position of text for each individual image.

  • This is how to add extra Exif data to Aperture :-)

    Folks
    Often I need additional Exif data in Aperture - which is not available in the standard install.
    For example - exactly which lens did I use - not just a focal lenght - which might be any one of various lenses I have.
    Or - which focus point was used?
    The list is endless...

    Hi,
    I'm the "author", if you can call it that, since most of the script is, as someone earlier mentioned, Brett Gross' work. I was the one that glued exiftool to it and got it working with my Aperture setup. I am looking at the various problems that have popped up on dpreview and with personal correspondence and trying to find solutions.
    But it isn't easy. As Charles said, the Aperture dictionary isn't helpful in that regard. And with the flexibility that Aperture provides in naming is the curse here. And all the variables with versions, external edits, etc. It gets very complicated. But if you look at the thread on dpreview, someone has possibly found a way to query the SQL database to make it all work smoothly.
    It is very easy to do this stuff at import. I am just putting the finishing touches on an Automator action to import the files and add the EXIF data (it will even query GeoNames and add the city, state & country IPTC data if there is GPS data present in the file).
