HumanK Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 Can you change the date and time on multiple photos in Affinity Photo? If not any recommendations on what software to use to do this? The problem is when we forget to amend the time when travelling overseas. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted December 9, 2019 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2019 Hi HumanK, Welcome to the forums Unfortunately this isn't currently possible in Affinity Photo, my apologies. I'm not personally aware of any software where this is possible, but hopefully our community members can help here! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

firstdefence Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 There are ways and software to batch edit creation dates, are you on Mac or Windows? On windows Nirsofts BulkFileChanger can change files settings, including creation and modified dates.

R C-R Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 If you are a Mac user & manage your photos with Apple's Photos app, you can use it's Image > Adjust Date & Time menu item for this. As shown in section 3 of this article, the adjust sheet includes a world map divided into time zones you can click on & a popup to select a city in that time zone (although the city does not matter, as long as it is in the appropriate time zone). If you select multiple photos, all are changed by the same relative amount, which usually is what you want if all the photos were taken in the same place, like when traveling.

v_kyr Posted December 9, 2019 Share Posted December 9, 2019 It should be emphasized for Apple Photos, that if the selected photos (whose Exif data date/time stamp should be modified) do all have initially different date and time settings, that you then can't set one and the same date and time for them at once. In such cases you have to rely on other previously mentioned software.

I can't find a reference to it right now, but somewhere on Apple's community support site someone posted an AppleScript app for Apple Photos that will set the same absolute date and time for a group of selected photos.

Well just search after your own activities and linking related to that old theme ... Is there a way to adjust the date on multiple pictures in Photos App on Mac?
