move time a few hours forward or backward. I want to change timezone in photo, i.e.I want to take date and time from EXIF info and put it into file info, that would make MacOS understand it.They might be really good and do a lot of stuff but I want two very simple things: There are some (potentially) pretty good paid options, like “A Better Finder Attributes” (my personal favorite), “SetEXIFData”, “Photo Exifier”, “Exif Sync”. And I don’t want to be limited to Photos (or even Mac) for going through my pictures. The issue is - I couldn’t see this change with filesystem (Finder). Moving timezones is indeed easy when you use Apple’s Photos app. Videos from phone - I don’t know why but videos from my phone sometimes have incorrect time set in EXIF data, even though name of the file (which contains time as well) is correct.Īd 2.But still I think fixing this (moving timezones) should be much easier. This one is of course user error, there is nothing wrong with Mac here. Taking photos with camera but forgetting to change timezone on camera.In theory it makes sense but in practice, it hurts. Coping photos from your Android phone - “Date Created” becomes the time you copied photo.There are mostly three cases, where this metadata on MacOS side is incorrect:
If you are taking photos with phone and camera at the same trip - that is probably your use case.Īlso you might want to search for photos taken at some time interval - without properly tagged date, good luck with that. Why you need good “Date Created” info?īecause sometimes you really want to sort by date, or (like me) you want to mix photos from many sources and go through them chronologically like they are from one source. Created date and time of photos is totally wrong! I was doing weird things to fix that and I’ve finally found simple way. If you have Android phone and you’ve ever copied photos from the phone to your mac - you probably know the pain.
