Changing the date and time properties of images
You can use the Batch Adjust Time Stamp tool to change the date and time properties of one or more
images in the Browser or in the Viewer.
To change the date and time properties of a file:
1 Do one of the following:
• In the Browser, select one or more images, and then click Tools | Batch Adjust Time Stamp.
• In the Viewer, click Modify | Adjust Image Time Stamp.
2On the Choose time stamp to change page, on the Date to Change tab, select the file property
that you want to change.
3On the Choose time stamp to change page, on the Advanced Options tab, select the options for
the Adjust Image Time Stamp tool described below.
4Click Next to continue.
5On the Choose new time stamp page, select one of the following options:
• Use date and time from another file property: replaces the selected date and time with
another time stamp property from the same file. Select the file property you want to use
from the Change date and time to drop-down list.
• Use specific date and time: changes the selected time stamp in each file to a specific date
and time. Type the new date and time for the time stamp in the Date and Time fields.
• Shift to a new starting date and time: replaces the earliest time stamp with a date and
time you specify, and shifts all later time stamps ahead accordingly. Specify the time stamp
for the earliest file in the Date and Time fields.
• Shift date and time by a specific number of hours (adjust time zone): shifts all the time
stamps either forwards or backwards by a specific number of hours. Select either Shift
forward or Shift backward, and type a number into the Number of hours spin box.
