As for EXIFtool: it does indeed seem like a very comprehensive application, but I dare say cumbersome for the average (non geeky) photographer. Perhaps I should contact them and suggest they add this feature in a future update.

Strike1: my mistake, Shootshifter actually did work with my Canon RAW (.CR2) files and from a quick test it appears it actually does change the time correctly! Thanks for your suggestion My only minor gripe is that it won't edit the EXIF data inside Photoshop (.PSD) files, but I can live with that.īirdbrain: Too bad about "A Better Finder Attributes" because I bought it specifically in order to fix photo file dates. Does anyone reading have a solution (and explanation) to the above problem?
#Remove exif data mac automator trial
I don't know if that solved all my problems back then, but in any case the trial has long since expired. If I take a look at the "Camera data (EXIF)" in Adobe Bridge all 3 times there are in fact incorrect ("Date time", "Date time original" and "Date time digitized"!Ī while back when i had similar problems someone suggested I use the 14-day trial of Photo mechanic which has an option for fixing incorrect time/date.

In Adobe Bridge the "Date file created" and "Date file modified" have been corrected (using ABFA), and they're both the same (which makes sense since RAW files can't be edited and resaved), but "Date created" is unchanged and incorrect (these 3 dates are found in the "File properties" section of "Metadata". I noticed that there might be a third file-date which I so far haven't been able to change (ABFA has a setting for changing "JPEG EXIF time stamps", but as the title implies it won't work for anything but JPG files). Oops!! I edited away some important findings in my previous posting. So do I need to manually edit the text inside the XML files or is there a better way? I can't believe there aren't easily available tools for this sort of thing as I can't be the only one who forgets to change a camera's time whenever needed. In a previous thread along the same subject I was suggested a 14-day trial version of Photo mechanic which can do this (not sure if it handles the XML issues though), but it's expired long ago of course. I'm sure I could solve the problem by deleting the XML files (Bridge would probably create new XML files based on the information found in the image files), but since I've edited some of those files using Adobe Camera RAW I don't want to lose any of that. I believe the information displayed there is what's contained in each RAW file's XML file. However, in Adobe Bridge the time stays the same. ) for this, and believe I need to adjust both creation and modifications dates. Once again I've forgot to adjust my cameras for daylight savings time meaning that lots of files are 1 hour behind.
