Changing date and time
Most photos have date and time settings associated with them, obtained
from your camera's Exif data. The most important setting is the date and
time that photo was taken, which is displayed as the Date Taken setting
in PhotoStack's Metadata tab.
The Date Taken setting can be modified for several reasons.
• When on holiday or business, your digital camera’s time zone
settings were not adjusted—meaning that the Date Taken
setting is incorrect.
• Your digital camera’s time setting was not adjusted for daylight
saving—meaning that the time is an hour out.
• If you have a photo that was scanned, although the file creation
date will be used, you can update the setting to reflect the time
the photo was taken rather than when it was scanned.
For information on how to filter by date, see Filter By date (on p. 63).
Changing a photo's date and time is permanent. We advise caution
when using the processes below, particularly when applying a
specific date and time to multiple photos.
To change a photo's Date Taken setting:
1. In the Library, select a single thumbnail (see p. 24).
2. Click to display the Metadata tab.
3. Double-click the Date Taken field.
