Propogating all XMP data creates more problems as it also affects anything related to file type. Initially I had hoped to propogate from the corresponding JPG files which all have the correct date and time but I could not find a way to limit it to only the affected tags. This is rather time consuming as I have to copy, and then paste 3 different tags for every file. I am only adjusting the XMP tags and when I do click the pen all the exif tags are updated to the correct time without the time-zone information,as you said. I have updated about 100 files this way, copy correct time (digitized) and paste it into the labels that are incorrect (Photoshop-created, Original, Created Date). I would appreciate any help in figuring out why the time would be offset by an hour before I venture further with more files and correcting the XMP-exif Date/Time Origional.Ĭlicking the pen icon works and updates all the information when I copy the correct time and paste it into the incorrect field. The date was replaced with the correct time (great) but the time was offset by an hour.
Working on a few images I was able to use the Metadata Templates to insert the Date/Time Digitized into the XMP-Photoshop Date Subject Created. All three time and dates are correct for the corresponding JPGs. The XMP-exif Date/Time Digitized is correct, but the XMP-exif Date/Time Original and XMP-Photoshop Date Subject Created, are not correct.
One of my discoveries is that the timestamps on about 1000 raw files are not consistent throughout the metadata. Thanks to the forum and help files I have managed to navigate my way around the various controls available. I've been impressed with how much of it I have been able to repair in such a short period of time considering I have 60K images.
My biggest frustration has been in the discovery of the errors either I or other software has made of my metadata. Let me start by saying IMatch is even better than I had anticipated, I truly appreciate the effort that's gone into creating such a rich and powerful program.
