I need to change date-taken metadata for many of my photos, b/c the other day, very stupidly, I had to change the time in my camera, and inadvertently changed the year to 2014… so now my last 500 photos or so show they were taken exactly a year before they were taken…
I did some searching, and found out can do this with XMP… so went here,
& downloaded the SDK… but don’t know where to start… I know java, shouldn’t be too hard…
can I just write a stand-alone “class” (like a java class) to do this and run it on unix?
need to bulk-change date-taken metadata for tons of my photos…
I know this is not strictly web dev, but don’t know where else to ask…
would appreciate help/suggestions…
thank you…
PS: or maybe can use this?
here there are two things to dl, a link on top of page and then further down an app for the mac… I just don’t see clear instructions if any of these things to do what I need to do (which, if it can be done, should be fairly simple…)
thank you…
What camera did you take the photos with? Usually (at least with my Canon cameras) software is included that can handle such corrections to date/time stamps. After that, I’d have to go with Adobe Bridge, but I’m not sure that’s available separate from Photoshop, Illustrator and so on.
Nikon D7000… and either way, some of the photos are in my computer and no longer in the camera memory card…
(but some of them are still in the camera – in the memory card…)
