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.
Thanks,

It's an old behaviour from some camera manufacturers (also Olympus...) which write their brand name in the exif field reserved to captions:

Changing date/time ...

I have a question about changing date and time ... thanks a lot in advance.
I have .CR2 files and I want to change the "date time original" info ... I want to change this info in the raw file, so I clicked on the "write date or time changes to into proprietary raw files" check box in the catalog settings window ... and then, after changing date/time with the "edit capture time", Lightroom wants to save changes and after clicking the arrow on the thumbnail, it creates a sidecar file. If date/time changes is to write directly into raw file (because of catalog settings indicated above), why does Lightroom create sidecar .xmp file?

There are two things going on here.
1. When you change the capture date/time (Date Time Original), the change is immediately reflected in the EXIF portion of the Metadata panel in the Library module. Because this is a metadata change, the warning arrow appears on the thumbnail (if you have that set to show in the View Options)....and clicking on that arrow brings up the "Metadata changed, do you want to save to disk" dialog. Note that this happens when you do any kind of metadata change, not just changing the date/time. At that point you can either decide to write the metadata to disk, or not.....if you typically write your metadata changes to XMP I guess you'd say "Save", but if you don't then just ignore it. Of course if you say "Save" then Lightroom will do as requested and write the Metadata, if it's a DNG,JPEG,TIFF etc, the Metadata is written to the XMP section of the file header....but if it's a proprietary RAW then it's written to an XMP sidecar.
2. The second thing is that if you have the option set in the Catalog Settings to write date/time changes into proprietary raw files, then the change that you make is reflected in the Raw file.....this is a different change to the XMP update.

PSE 10 editor changing date taken in EXIF data

Hello. I have just joined the forum after recently buying PSE 10 Editor for Mac. I had no trouble at first but now after I have saved an edit I find that the date taken has been changed to the same as the date modified & imported.
I can change it back manually through iPhotos menu but this is a bit of a nuisance when a lot of photos are involved, I don't know why it has happened but how do I reset it to give the correct date ?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it didn't help. I lost another photo today and had to retrieve it
for the Organizer from my Windows files. Instead of placing it next to the original photo (or in the same area), it placed it in a file called Adobe/Photoshop.com. I made sure again that the line you referred to isn't checked. In addition, when the photo doesn't get lost, the Exif date for the photo does get lost and the photo is dated today. These two problems seem to be connected, although I can never predict which one will occur. Anybody have more ideas? Could it be a Windows 7 issue rather than a Photoshop issue?

How can I change the time of photos in info in iPhoto for iOS. I've done it in iPhoto for Mac but when I sync to my ipad the info field goes back to the camera time ignoring "modify original files" in iPhoto for Mac?

I used "adjust date and time" and"modify original files" to correct the time of photos taken on a camera used in Peru which was set to UK rather than local time. which is 6 hours behind. This was to bring them into line with shots taken with other cameras set to local time. This was using iphoto 08 on a Mac. I then synced to my iPad. The photos stayed in the correct order in photos but in iphoto (iOS version) the original dates appear (the camera dates) and so the photos are out of chronological order again. This looks like a bug but is there a fix?

don't know what you mean by "write to master" but speculate that it means modify the original times, in which case the taken times on the camera should no longer be present
No,I meant your using the option "modify original files" will do exactly that - change the capture date original master files stored in the iPhoto library. Only when you do that, the "date modified" of your original files will be changed as well, and it will now be the date of your manipulation of the capture date.
Oh - I hadnt considered that possibility - but of that were the case, why don't my manipulated photos go to the end of the sequence as I have done all the manipulation after the end of the holiday??
In photos the synced album maintains the chronological order which I set up on the mac by modifying the originals, as you said,
That is what the linked article is describing: "some apps may sort your photos in the order you specify in the app (such as iPhoto or Aperture"
The problem I have is that, in the album, iphoto (ipad) sorts them differently to both iphoto (Mac) and the photos tab on the ipad
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
"on ipad this is the Photos tab" - but this displays as per the original sequence ignoring time adjustments - the manipulations seem to be ignored (but are reflected in the album in the photos tab) and the photos tahat have been modified stay in their original positiom - they don't get put the end
Because the library uses a different date - the date modified - the date of the last time the file has been changed in any way - any editing you do to your image, including adjust date and time will change the "date modified"
This may change the sorting of the database but it appears not to influence the order in the albums
In addition to albums and events, synced photos appear in a unified category called Photo Library (on iPad, this is the Photos tab). Photos are not duplicated. This category will also sort photos in ascending order by the date modified.
So how can i get my photos in date and time order in an album in iphoto for ipad?
Thanks for your help

Batch-change date (time)...

I know you can batch-change the date in iPhoto, and there's the option to add X seconds between each photo, but what I need to do is change the time by XX seconds/hours. Basically, this weekend we had two camera shooting a trip we were on. I thought both cameras were synched (clocks) but one camera was off by 12 hours (it was on AM when should have been PM). So, I need to add 12 hours to each photo for the 1 camera. Is there any way to do this via a batch (ie. not manually going through each of the 150+ photos and setting the time) so when I make an album of shots from both camera, sort by date/time, they synch up.
If there's no way to do this in iPhoto, could anyone suggest another application that could do this before importing into iPhoto?
Thanks,
Kristin.

Rather than start a new topic, I'm going to just refer to this one since it's recent and exactly the issue I was trying to solve. My situation is that I bought a new camera in January and still had 2006 on my mind, so all the pictures I've taken this year are off by a year. I used PhotoInfo to change the EXIF data folder by folder in my iPhoto Library folder (by this I mean I had to batch change every folder in Originals/2007 and Modified/2007). 2 folders didn't take the changes, but that's another issue for a different forum.
Most of my pictures now have the correct EXIF data, however iPhoto doesn't show the correct info when I select the menu item Photos>Get Iinfo. Doing some searches here says that the only way to update iPhoto is to reimport the photos with the new EXIF data. My question is how do I do that without screwing everything up? I have originals and modified versions of files that are affected. How do I bring them back in such that if I use the Revert to Original command in the contextual menu that the modified files are still correctly linked to the originals?
A secondary question is whether iPhoto is really the program I want to use. Most of my major changes I make using Photoshop. Recently after making changes in Photoshop as well as a few minor tweaks in iPhoto (I don't remember which order) when I tried to revert to the original it no longer existed. It reverted to a modified file (modified in PS or iPhoto, don't remember which). Since then I've been making a duplicate in iPhoto and then modify that one in PS as well as iPhoto. However, after making modifications in PS I have to save it as a JPG in order to keep it organized with all my photos in iPhoto. It would be nice to keep a PSD copy filed along side it. Should I be using something else besides iPhoto that handles EXIF information and changes seemlessly as well as JPG and PSD (and probably RAW in the future)?
Thanks in advance for any info/tips.

Batch Change Date/Time - same time to full batch, not offset timing?

Is there a way to force Aperture to change the date/time on a batch of photos with ALL images to the same exact date/time?
Right now, I have a bunch of scanned images with the wrong date/time, but of course, scanned at different times (embedded image date/time). When using Aperture 2.1's "Metadata", "Adjust Date and Time..." function, I only have one image with the input desired date/time, then all the other scans have a different date/time based on the timing offset difference from the scanning, which over the course of several scans changes by several days quickly.
Does anyone know of a work around? I'd hate to manually adjust hundreds/thousands of image metadata by hand when Aperture should do this easily.
Thanks!!

Correct, I am referring to the EXIF data. Aperture can change this data using the aforementioned "Metadata", "Adjust Date and Time..." feature, it's only that Aperture can't (as far as I can tell) set a batch of photo to the exact date and time among the entire batch.
Perhaps I'll be able to find or create an Apple Script to do this outside of Aperture?
It's a shame though as I can't possibly be the only one with a large scanned collection from years ago I'm trying to archive in proper date order. This would be a great new added feature Apple, if you are also reading this! (I've already submitted the feature request some weeks ago)

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.

Changing Date & Time Taken

Is there any way possible or a preference to set which will not change the date and time stamps on my photos as I manipulate them in Lightroom?

> In other words, whenever DST starts or stops, the capture times will shift by 1 hour, and if you change your timezone in Windows, the displayed capture time will change to display the date/time the pictures were taken in your current timezone (rather than the capture time from the timezone the pictures were taken in.)
That has been fixed in LR2.
> Is there any way possible or a preference to set which will not change the date and time stamps on my photos as I manipulate them in Lightroom?
Manipulating images in LR cannot modify the date/time taken stored in EXIF. I think you a referring to file modification date as you see it in Explorer/Finder, which is quite a different thing.
If so, it goes like this... For proprietary Raw files (NEF, CR2 etc.) it never changes the timestamp, except when you use the 'Edit Capture Time' command. All metada changes are save in sidecar XMPs for these. For DNG, JPEG, TIFF and PSD they are modified each time you save metadata, since the metada is embedded into the actual file. You have no option to change this bevahiour.
Though, for any format you may choose not to save or embed any metadata, but keep it only inside the LR's catalog. Check (or uncheck) the respective prefs in the Catalog Settings dialog.

IPhotos has randomly changed dates on my photos

I am very organized in iPhoto, I've been using it for years. I have 15,000 photos in my iPhoto library and since last week I have noticed that it is randomly redating my some of my photos. Last week I browsed through my library from the earliest date (2003) without modifying anything on any photos... since then it has randomly redated some of those photos. I have no idea how or why this has happened... any info anyone can give me as to why this happened or how to correct it would be greatly appreciated!! I take extreme care to organize each and every photo that I upload, this little issue is driving me crazy!
Thanks in advance!
Sarah

I have had a similar thing happen to me. At some point over the last year (perhaps during an upgrade?), iPhoto changed the dates of some photos in my library. The interesting thing is the pattern of the changes. iPhoto appears to have randomly selected anywhere from 1-3 photos from each of my events and then changed the dates of those photos. The dates inserted by iPhoto start in April of 2011 and advance by one day for each altered photo. For example, the altered photo from my library's first event (photos from 2001) is now dated April 4, 2011. The two altered photos from my second event (also 2001) are now dated April 5 and April 6, 2011. The one altered photo from my third event (2002) is now dated April 7, 2011. The photo altered from my sixtieth event (2007) is now dated sometime in June, 2011. I think you see the pattern. The photo(s) changed in each event seem to be randomly selected, and in some events no dates have been changed at all. It is not the end of the world (I can go through each event and correct the dates of the changed photos) but it is a big hassle as I have hundreds of events. Does anyone have an explanation as to what might have happened here?

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.

Need to change Date/Time stamp on jpeg file

I combine images into panoramas using PTGUI. The problem is that the output image file is date stamped as the time that I created the image. I really want the date/time stamp to be the same as the images that go into the panorama. I cannot find a way in LR to change this.

Changing date/time format

Hi there,
I live in the United States but prefer my dates to be in the dd/mm/yy format as opposed to the US mm/dd/yy format. I also like 24-hour time rather than AM/PM. I System Preferences>Language & Text>Region, I found the tool to modify my preferred date/time formats. However, I notice that the format of the date in my menu bar does not change (it still reads Sep 25 when it should read 26 Sep). All other dates/times appear to function correctly. I briefly switched the Region of the computer to the United Kingdom but quickly switched it back because of how autocorrect handled words like "color."
Ideas?

That did the trick - sometimes the easiest thing to do is hard to see. Seems I have been working too long on a Windows machine (unfortunately, I have to do so at work)...
Thanks for the quick help!
