|| SportsShooter.com: Member Message Board Batch EXIF Date Editing Ed Wolfstein, Photographer Burlington | VT | USA | Posted: 9:26 PM on 04.25.03 ->> I know there are lots of programs that you can use to caption your images and edit your EXIF data, and I've even made an Action in Photoshop to batch process a bunch of images, but I have a situation that needs another approach. I inadvertently changed the in camera date to 2005 when I was adjusting the time for Daylight savings, all other info is correct (day, month, time.) Now, is there a clever way to batch change only "2005" to "2003" without changing any of the other shooting data (kind of like a Find & Replace approach?) Any tips? (Mac or Win) Thanks a bunch! - Ed.  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Hope this helps!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

Please disregard my previous post - the changes in the SET INFO TEXT window in Photo Mechanic only change the way PM displays the EXIF info - it does not change the info in the file - 1000 apologies for my error!  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
