Hi, I have a need to radically change the capture date in a number of Canon RAW images. All my images are taken in RAW mode (Canon S90 in this case) My workflow involves importing all of them into Lightroom and converting to DNG.

I've just returned from an overseas trip to find that the camera's date-time was out by about 30 days (must have been me when I changed timezone settings). Unfortunately, Lightroom doesn't allow me to make such radical changes without modifying each image individually. With over 300 images, this ain't going to happen.

So, I need something like jhead (I use a Mac) to make batch changes to move all capture dates on by 30 days. I still have the CR2 files, or I have the DNG files. I'd prefer to mod the CR2 files and re-import into Lightroom.

Any ideas?
 
you can shift the time in Lightroom by 30 days on 300 pics at once.

Metadata > edit capture time... just select all your pics first. If you want to change the raw files. just import the cr2, edit the times, then export as original, then reimport and convert to dng. If thats what you want to do.
 
When I looked that the first option that shifts the capture time to a new date, I interpreted that as meaning it would move all the images to the same date-time, rather than moving them relative to the first image.

Done now, thanks.
