Edit My Images
Yes
Recently had 3 cameras going at the same time at an event and now I've realised that the clocks on each of them are out,

Camera A on BST (Nikon D2x) eg 09:10
Camera B on GMT (Nikon D100) eg 08:10
Camera C on CET (Nikon d50) eg 10:10

consequence is that now I've got all the images on my PC I can't time sequence them.

Anyone got any bright ideas ? Tearing my hair out here, as you can see not much left to go at as well.

fyi I have Lightroom 2.0 and CS3

needless to say...shan't be making that mistake again.......have just set them all to the Radio Signal Atomic Clock at BST
 
You can use opanda (free exif data softwere) to change the time but thats only helpful if u know what you need to change it to. As you know times they are set to can you not work out the difference between that and BST? have to admit sounds like a mission though.
 
Can you identify which images are from which camera? I would hope you can, based on the EXIF data. If so, you could use BreezeBrowser to adjust the date/time stamp in batches, e.g. 3 hours forward or 2 hours back. It's the only software I've come across that will actually edit a RAW file - a bit scary, but it does work. You can even use the free trial version of BreezeBrowser to do this if you don't want to buy it.

I was smart enough to ID which cards were from which camera so BreezeBrowser looks like a winner in theory, great reply and thanks, will let you all know how I get on.

Incidentally, the other bit of software (shareware) ,Opanda, is quite good to, although with 1500+ images to address doing it 1 image at a time wasn't practical, cool bit of software though for other times and needs that have and I'm sure will arise again.

Cheers all ;)
