How to change capture date to unknown in Lightroom 5.2

How do I simply change a photo capture date to unknown in Lr 5.2?  I scanned some photos that somehow automatically got the scanned date input as capture date and I need to reset it to unknown.  I've spent way too much time searching for an answer for such a simple task.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian

LR doesn't provide a feature to change capture date to unknown, nor does it allow plugins to do it correctly.  You'll have to use an external tool (e.g. the free Exiftool) to modify the metadata of the photos directly:  
1. If you've added keywords, captions, or other metadata to the photos in your catalog, or you have applied Develop settings, then in LR, select all the affected photos and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File.
2. Use Exiftool to remove the fields EXIF:DateTimeOriginal, XMP:DateCreated, and IPTC:DateCreated and :TimeCreated. 
3. Select all the photos and do Metadata > Read Metatadata From File.
The Capture Time To Exif plugin may make step 2 a little easier for you, though you'll have to figure the Exiftool command line arguments yourself.

    String formatPattern = "yyyy-mm-dd";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatPattern);
    sdf.format(yourdate);yyyy-mm-dd denotes year-minutes-days. Please go read the SimpleDateFormat API as well.

  • How to change billing date in S1 - cancellation billing document

    Dear Friends,
    Could you please tell How to change billing date in S1 - cancellation billing document which is even not released to accounting & in gray mode.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks in advance.
    Ranjan

    Dear,
    Thanks for asking exact problem.
    1. PGI in 2008
    2. F2 Billing date in 2003 ( By mistake by the user)
    3. S1 Billing date in 2008
    4. PGI reverse in 2008 & OBD deleted in 2008
    So reduced billing qty is shown in report in 2008 because of S1 Billing date in 2008,
    Billing qty  is not matching with the actual PGI quantity.
    So here if the cancellation billing document S1 could be changed for billing date in 2008, then you could balance it
    Now my issue is how to balance it.
    hope you find it it very interesting
    Awaiting your response.

    Hi,

    Not a problem. There are a number of other system and network setup commands that you might find useful at some time. From within the Remote Desktop Admin in the Send Unix Command window type:
    networksetup -help
    systemsetup -help
    That will give you lists of the commands, including the one I posted above, with their basic syntax. They're handy to know.

  • How to change the Data sources after deploying the application ??

    Hi All,
    i want to know how to change the Data sources after deploying the application to the application server ???
    I'm using Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.1.0)

    Can you access the Enrprise Manager website of the target Application Server from your location? If so, you can change the datasource in it. If not, yo can bundle the datasource definition in your archive and use that one instead of the one configured in the target OC4J container. Or this will just be the responsability of your customer: whenever you send a new WAR file, they have to modify the datasource if needed and deploy the application?

  • How to change the picture frame size in Lightroom 5 Book

    I would like to control the actual picture frame size when making a Book in Lightroom 5. Or else know the sizes of the different picture frames provided by choosing the different page layouts. That way I can either change the picture frame dimensions to accomodate each photo or change the image size to fit in the offered picture frame. I find that using the software as is winds up cropping the images in unwanted ways. Modifying the picture frame would be my preferred alternative. Appreciate any ideas

    Hi again Tony,
                I have been using Adobe Photoshop 7, Photoshop Elements, Perfect Photo Suite, Photo Studio, etc., changing Image size, placing a picture on a page and then, do a simple last minute size adjustment by using the arrows to stretch or shrink it in place. Things would be a lot simpler if I could do the same thing with the cells in Lightroom 5. Cell pad adjustments do not fill the bill.
    I think we’ve pretty much concluded this exchange. Thanks again for your effort.

  • Changing Capture Date

    I'm scanning a ton of old negatives and want to change the capture date. The date doesn't appear in the EXIF metadata list, but I can attempt to change via the metadata menu - but it doesn't work and reverts back to the 12/31/2000.
