![]() ![]() I'm assuming you have many other photos in LR but for this process I'd make a new catalog just for these photos, and make sure everything is as you want it, then "import from catalog" to bring them into your main catalog. If it does, you can delete these copies (you made copies, right?) and catalog, and do it all again with all the files. xmp files into the folder with the RAW and then tell LR to update the metadata and see if it works. Make a new catalog, import the RAW files and make sure the date is now correct. Copy a few RAW files to one folder, and copy their companion. This should bring back all your LR edits while retaining the changed date. xmp files into the same folder, and then update the files with the "new" metadata. Then after the photos are in LR with the correct date, move the. xmp move the RAW files to a different folder, and import them again into a new catalog with the new date metadata (stored in the RAW file and edited with exiftool). See this tutorial:Īfter saving the metadata (LR edit changes) to. If your photos are in RAW, (the use case I'm most familiar with), LR has the option to store the develop information in sidecar. It's all a bit tedious but it works and I haven't found anything else that works better.I would ask this as a comment but I don't have enough reputation (yet) so I'm starting with my comment/question, then will give an answer.Īre your photos in RAW or jpeg or other format? But the problem is that you can't delete the original file until you drop another file into PhotoME or you shut the program down. The workaround, of course, is to save the file under another name. You click on these boxes and it brings up a dialog where you can enter the changes.Īs I mentioned, the program is rough around the edges and this means that you cannot save the file because it will tell you the file is in use. What you have to do is drag a file from Windows Explorer into PhotoME and you can change the "File Date and Change Time", the original data generation date and the digital data generation date. ) It's not a release product and it has some rough edges. Copy metadata from the raw file over to the corresponding preview jpeg sidecar. Extract the preview image embedded in raw files. Move or copy image files into folders by year and month. ![]() Rename image files according to their creation date. There is at least one program that will allow you to fix the ARW file with the correct date among other things. Basic ExifTool commands for image organization. I found the same thing as other, Lightroom creates an XMP file that shows the corrected date but no other programs see it so they reflect the incorrect date. If it really does change them now then it will be an interesting development. That will separate it from any updates made in Lightroom. Would you be able to try looking at the updated images in Sony's RAW viewer, or on another machine and see what date it has put on them. It has always done the same for alterations to Exif data too, and unless it has changed very recently (and with no comments publicizing it), it still does. Either way, it stores them, and not in the RAW file. It does this automatically - you do not need to do it. It either stores them in XMP sidecar files, or in a central data file. Lightroom stores additional data for RAW files, (for example RAW development settings) separately. I don't use XMP sidecars or anything, but I don't remember if I had to save metadata to make it work. You may try to figure out from the dates whether I was using 2.3 or 2.4. The pictures from the first two days were corrected in Lightroom when I returned home in the beginning of August. After that, I corrected the timezone in the A700. No, the final word is that I shot two days of photos with the wrong timezone in July this year. Is this the final word on this then? There is no way to edit the metadata in an ARW file?
