Change date and time of multiple photos that are result of 35mm slide conversion.

Hello JonHarrison35,

It sounds like you have a number of images that would recently imported to your Photos app and now you need to go and edit the date and time. It sounds like you are now trying to go through and edit the information, however as soon as you update the date and time it moves to the desired date. I would wonder which album you are using to look at the photos. If it is by time it will update, so I would suggest looking at either recents or imports, depending on how the photos were imported.

If you need assistance with editing the information here the article on editing the photo data.

Add titles, descriptions, and more to photos using Photos on Mac

I hope this helps!

Cheers!

.. Now with photos 5.0 the image display jumps to the next photo AFTER the newly assigned date, rather than staying in the photos to which the incorrect date was assigned in conversion. How do I keep the app from moving the display to the new date?

Have you tried to collect the photos in an album and work from the album instead of working from the Imports or All photos view? if your photos are in an album and the album is not sorted by the date, the focus should remain on the current photo.

I am using an Apple Script to adjust the dates and times of photos, that should have essentially the same date. I am arranging the photos in a top level album in the order I want them sorted by time, thenajust the date and time of the first photo, select them all and run this script: Script: Batch Change the Date and Time to a Fixed Date

It will copy the date and time from the first selected photo to all other selected photos, but with an increment of one minute between successive photos, so they can be sorted by the date and time.

If I want to lift and stamp the location and other metadata as well, I use this script instead: Script: Lift and Stamp all Metadata from one Photo to All Other Selected Photos
