Changing date of many photos

I have today taken many photos and uploaded them to a folder on my computer.


I now see the camera date was incorrectly set (one day out) how do I change the date on all the photos without doing them individually?

    This changes the windows side
    http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/bulk_file_changer.html

    this one allows you to change singular files

    Then there is the exif information that may be stored in the photo which can include date

    Use Exiftool to change the date in the photos EXIF data. You can do them individually or as a group.
  • Attribute changer will do what you require, it's freeware too.

    It can alter many file attributes such as file date/time and other file info. It can also change photo info such as the exif data. It adds a right click option which you can then use by selecting all the files that you want.

    Irfanview can do a similar thing. It has options to adjust the date/time such as add a day, hour etc providing the file has exif info.
  • I hope you mean the exif data is incorrect, in which case it's fixable as described. If you had date stamping enabled on all the photos, you've got a much more major problem...

    Irfanview can also set the created/modified and accessed time stamps of the pictures to the exif date taken which might be useful. It can also add a set number of seconds to each picture when doing batch operations.
