Using the command line you provided, I dropped 76 images on Terminal. Well, Phil, I was afraid "it can't be done" would be your response, but thank you.įYI, something that I did not expect to happen, based on your response, did happen. it makes it look as though the photos were made at a date and time later than their actual capture. If so, can someone kindly provide the text and any additional instructions that will affect this change?įWIW, this is important to me because an image viewer/sharing application that I would like to use displays the JPG processing date/time instead of the Date/Time of "the moment the shutter was pushed" and that is very misleading in this particular application. Will ExifTool process a folder full of JPGs to change the Create date shown in the Finder so that it reflects the Date/Time of "the moment the shutter was pushed" instead of the Date/Time that the JPG was processed? it is the Date/Time when the JPG was processed out from the DNG. When I view the JPGs in the Mac Finder, the Create date is not "the moment the shutter was pushed". it is visible as both Date/Time Original and Create Date in the Terminal window when I drop a JPG there with ExifTool running. The derivative JPGs retain that Date and Time info in the EXIF data.

The DNGs record "the moment the shutter was pushed" date and time in the EXIF data. I output them as JPGs through Photoshop/Bridge. I shoot photos in DNG format, and tweak them in Adobe Camera Raw. Wow, am I ever in over my head here! I hope there's a simple answer to my problem.
