Changing the date and time properties of images

You can use the Batch Adjust Time Stamp tool to change the date and time properties of one or more images in Manage mode or in View mode.

To change the date and time properties of a file:

1. Do one of the following:
   • In Manage mode, select one or more images, and then click Tools | Batch | Adjust Time Stamp.
   • In View mode, click Tools | Modify | Adjust Image Time Stamp.
2. On the Choose time stamp to change page, do the following:
   • On the Date to Change tab, select the file property that you want to change.
   • On the Advanced Options tab, select the options for the Adjust Image Time Stamp tool described below.
   • Click Next to continue.
3. On the Choose new time stamp page, select one of the following options:
   • Use different date and time: Replaces the selected date and time with another time stamp property from the same file. Select the file property you want to use from the Select date and time drop-down list.
   • Use specific date and time: Changes the selected time stamp in each file to a specific date and time. Type the new date and time for the time stamp in the Date and Time fields.
   • Shift to a new starting date and time: Replaces the earliest time stamp with a date and time you specify, and shifts all later time stamps ahead accordingly. Specify the time stamp for the earliest file in the Date and Time fields.
   • Shift date and time by a specific number: Shifts all the time stamps either forwards or backwards by a specific number of hours (to adjust for time zones). Select either Shift forward or Shift backward, and type a number into the Hours, Minutes, and Seconds spin boxes.
4. Click Adjust Time Stamp to begin adjusting your files.
5. When the wizard is finished, click Done to return to ACDSee 12.
