change the date on the imported photos

I added & appoint my 175 GB of photos by digital date.  My catalogue includes a good number of photos scanned from the "old days".  To save space HARD drive on my iMac, I import photos photos as referenced photos, but they import according to the date of the analysis of the name I had given him and not and when I look at my Photos, analyzed those peaks are scattered everywhere.  I plan to remove all the photos in my pictures and then re-import them.  Is it possible to set the time of creation of an entire folder to reflect when they were actually taken vs when they have been digitized?

You can select several photos in pictures for Mac at a time. Then use "Set Date and Time" in the picture menu.

This setting of the selected photos capture date and time by the same fixed increment change.

It works well, if the selected photos have been scanned roughly at the same time.  So, choose photos that were analyzed at the same time to adjust.

If you have a photo album with a variety of scanning of the dates, but want to put all the photos on the same fixed date, use an Apple script. I posted a script in the section user Tip (Photos for Mac) that I use for my scans, see: batch Change Date and time on a fixed Date

    Changing the settings to import photo with Windows 7

    I want to change the import for my Canon camera settings when you import pictures using Windows 7.  I had already managed to do it once but to adjust settings again.  However, when I connect my camera to my PC, it starts automatically import photos based on the current settings with no option to change.  Please help - its driving me crazy!

    Microsoft seems to be lame on answering machine bugs here and just standard information messages, which of course do not work.

    A solution has been validated, in part, to david.gardiner.net.au/2010/02/changing-location-of-pictures-and.html. Maybe there is an easier way.

    In the Windows registry under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition

    There are a number of subkeys. For example, there is a subkey "Camera and Portable device."

    Return the next value of AcquisitionFlags to 0 x 82 in the registry key seems to restore the Import Wizard asking you to specify an optional tag and you click again on the link "Import settings":

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

    To make this change yourself, follow these steps (with the standard warning that change the incorrect Windows registry can completely ruin everything!):

    1. run regedit.exe
    2 navigate in the tree of the registry to find the following subkey:

    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Photo Acquisition\Camera and Portable device

    3. double-click on the value "AcquisitionFlags".
    4. Type "82".
    5. click "OK" and close the registry editor

    I had to scan it for my Scanner in the category.

  • Change the import settings when the Tag window is disabled

    Hello

    When changing the parameters to import by mistake, I chose only not to ask for the name of tag in import.

    Now, I want to change the import settings. Now, when I click on import Image and videos I'm never able to see the screen of tag I can change the settings to import again. It begins to import images and videos very quickly and not giving the time similarly hit the import settings.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you


    I found a solution that worked for me!

    My problem was when I tried to change the import settings after inserting my memory of cameras
    stick. It offering me the opportunity to go to import the settings. If I could change the location
    imported illustrations...

    After scanning a document to save (nothing to do with) image + video import dialogue box shows
    To the top! And does not immediately start importing, so I was able to click on the import settings and get
    the dialog box import settings.

    I clicked on the parameter area for the scanner and I get a choice of devices to change the settings of.
    Cameras and portable is here. !! By clicking on that gives me the window I can ck the __Prompt of the box for a tag on import.
    I do this press 'OK '.

    Then I get a box of photos and videos to import saying for these changes to take effect, import pictures and
    videos will now be restarted. Click on 'OK' to find
    Scanner: Operation is not successful the device is not ready. I click 'OK' on this box

    After that, I will go back to load pictures from my camera memory stick and import of images + videos box
    remains on the screen, so I'm able to get import settings.

    I hope this works for you... I tried to solve this problem for weeks.
    (Meaning 3 days after I got my new computer windows7)
    with no help from chat for hours with HP support and many requests for help from microsoft answers.

    Hope that gives you the answers you need... I would like to know if this is the case?

  • How can I change the cover photo of the project in another image in the project?

    I want to change the cover photo for a project. I found this information in the knowledge base:

    How to replace or change the cover on my Portfolio Images? -Adobe knowledge base portfolio & FAQ

    However, after I deleted my old cover photo, I pick up a new photo on my computer. I can't find a way to choose a cover from the already uploaded images and in the project photo.

    What is the only way to do it? Looks like I should be able to scroll through them and choose a new picture of the cover.

    Hello

    I was wondering the same thing and I think I found a solution for this. If you go to the project page - project to change content, after the editor has been loaded, you have a small black rectangle in the bottom of the page, content, coverage, parameters, overview, updated project. When you click on the cover, you can actually choose your new coverage among the images already uploaded from your project. I hope that helped. I don't understand why you're not able to do it from your gallery page, it is somewhat confusing and I hope it will pass portfolio team.

    Good day!

    I use the Photo App in OS X El Capitan. I can't find the instructions that explain how to change the key in faces photo online. The instructions I was able to locate show 1) go to Photos, 2) go to the faces, 3), go to a particular face, 4) find a picture of this face that you want to be the key photo, 5) select which photo by hovering over it with the mouse by pressing the space bar.

  • Why does Photoshop Lightroom change the import settings?

    Hello

    I use adobe lightroom on windows vista.  Recently when importing the pictures on my camera into my computer, lightroom has changed their black and white.  Even if they have not been taken in black and white.  I can't understand how to solve this problem.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Make sure that you do not apply a preset on import - development looking at the expanded version of the import for this dialog box.

    So check you default in develop module, may restore them by default Adobe.

    In your catalog settings do not check auto-ton.

    These 3 balls are just what I can think of as a potential reason.

  • Unable to connect keywords with the imported photos

    have a PC Winsdows 8.0. and Litghtroom 5.7. I want to be ready to a computer breakdown and all my photos stored on an external drive. When I reimport to determine if I know how to do it correctly, photos come with no keywords. I checked the hirarcy button key words and exported the original internally. When I reimport there are no keywords or changing data. I know it's in the catalogue, but do not know how to connect witih photos. I have to re key word and edit all photos by 11,000 or so if I had a crash. I'm not a computer person and I try forums etc, and all I get is "remember the catalogue is here as well as photos" it is there but does not connect with the photos. Really frustrated please please help. Thank you

    The problem is that reimport is not the right thing to do. Never re - import!

    To restore everything after a crash, you restore a backup of the file catalog to its location of origin, and you return all the photos in their original location.

  • not all the imported photos appear in moments without leaving the app

    Hello.

    I use a photo stream having the photos to import into my Mac (which has iCloud library enabled) from my iPhone (which has no active ICPL).

    About half of the time on my mac Photos will miss a photo or two times. You can see in the "pictures" section, but it will not appear in the 'Moments '.

    Leave the Photos App and relaunch it solves it.

    Anyone else running into this on a regular basis?

    Curious. And please in advance.

    Holly

    For devices using iCloud Photo library My Photo Stream is not active - the photos are synchronized using ICPL not MyPhotoStream

    When you have pictures in all the Photos that you don't see in Moments right click in all the pictures and show instant - made pictures then show in a moment?

    If it does not back up your library of Photos and then press the command and option keys during the launch of Photos and the repair of the database

  • do not remember the imported photos in Lightroom

    I have this strange thing started happening a few days ago

    When you import into LR, (64 bit of windows 10 CC2015.3) directly from an SD card inserted in a bed in the card slot, the application does not remember photos that I already imported.  I have 200 photos, import a number of them, say 40.  Make sure that I clicked on "new photos", but all THE photos appear. At first I thought that the camera musemum shots when he wrote, but is not the issue. I close LR and restarted the computer. This happens on 2 different cards, 2 different cameras.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you very much

  • Missing files in the imported photos

    Hello

    I imported a shoot of about 3300 raw images into several directories of files.  One of the files is missing.  It is on the hard drive and contains images.  I try to sync the parent folder and it says images must be imported.  As he tried to import the images get is imported in gray out and then nothing.  The images don't appear any where else in LR.  Earlier, I had a disk failure, I replaced the drive with an identical record and realized LR to it.  All good except for the folder.

    If the photos are grayed out when you try to import, this means that the photos are already in Lightroom.

    To search for, in your operating system, determine that a file name (for example, DSC_0038.NEF) of one of the suspected files missing, then

    • Click on "All photographs" in the catalog Panel on the left
    • Disable all filters (once or twice Ctrl/Cmd-L)
    • enable the filter bar (use the backslash key), then search by name for this file
  • Cannot change the profile Photo/icon

    Hello

    I don't know if this is the right forum, so I apologize if I put it in the wrong place.

    I recently (3-4 weeks ago, tops), downloaded the latest version of Skype. Since then, I could not change my profile picture, a problem that I didn't have before. When I click on 'change your image... '. "or my profile picture to change it, the regular menu comes up, and I can browse and select a picture. However, the second, that I click on an image to select it, Skype Cup (if I am in a call), gets lag returns for the briefest of moments and then crashes. My icon is not changed when I return.

    He learned to be a terrible fight, and reinstalling Skype does not solve the problem. Help?

    The only one I can say based on the error message that it could be a conflict between Skype and a system, maybe graphics card drivers. You can try to update your Skype to the latest version, either 5.5.0.124 or 5.6.0.110. See this:
