This program is great because it reads the files from their original location, and makes any changes to the original files, without importing the files into the program (as Apple Photos does). We have previously written about Adobe Bridge, and how it is a great FREE digital photo viewing and metadata editing tool for both MAC and Windows computers. Here are four ways you can change the date/time taken data for a digital file:
Which really messes with the chronological camera roll! I remember when I travelled to Hawaii, and travelled across the international date line, the photos I took at the airport in Sydney were dated after the photos I took the morning I arrived in Hawaii. It can also happen when photos are taken in a different time zone. The other time that dates are incorrect on a digital image, is when you scan old photographs, slides or negatives, the date taken data will reflect the date scanned, not the date the photograph was originally taken. The date/time stamp can be missing if a file was received via a social sharing app such as WhatsApp (which removes the file metadata on sending for privacy and security reasons) or the date could be incorrect if the image was captured on a digital camera where the date wasn’t set and the date defaults to something like 01-01-2004 at 12:00am. However, I always come across files where the date/time stamp is missing or incorrect. When organising digital photo collections for clients, I more often than not, organise the photo collection into Year > Month folders using the date/time taken stamp embedded into each digital file’s metadata.
