I have a bunch of pictures for which something went wrong during the import (I used Image Capture on Mountain Lion) went wrong and the file time is completely random. The correct time when the picture was taken is stored in the meta data. Since Picasa orders photos by file time rather than what is set in the meta data, they are ordered incorrectly now.  Is there a free tool that can modify the file time to match the camera time in the meta data for all these pictures easily?

I want to specify a directory and have the software find all the photos in the directory and its sub-directories, and if they contain EXIF date/time, it sets their filesystem timestamp to match the EXIF.

Most photo applications provides some way to toggle between the original (unedited) version of a photo and the current (edited) one.    In Aperture, "M" toggles between the two, many iOS photo apps let you touch the screen to compare the edited or filtered version to the original, etc.  I can't find any way to show the original in the new Photos app other than "reverting," which removes all the edits.  I don't want to remove them, I just want to compare the two.    I realize that I can "revert" then undo, but it's hacky, slow, and worse, dangerous - counting on undo to preserve work in any app is iffy, at best.  Note: The fact that Aperture edits are saved "less destructively" than Photos shouldn't be relevant here.  Both applications DO retain the original, in edition to the edited version.

I use F-Spot to manage my images. For one set of images, the dates somehow got messed up and they all are marked as September 1st 2007. I'd like to change the date taken information to a different date. How can I do this?

I have a Nikon D3100. When I unload the pictures from the camera to the computer, the numbering of the file names goes back to zero.  Sometimes, when they are still about the same event, I would prefer if it kept going where it left off. Is there a way to tweak those settings?  Thanks

I've got 40GB of photos from my old Picasa Web Albums service and now I've just cancelled my storage plan.  Is there any way to remove all the photos and albums?  I searched a lot and I have no clue how to do it, I'm not going to delete near 400 albums individually, and obviously, not paying again for the storage plan.  I remember old days when google-cli was able to do this kind of stuff, but sadly it seems abandoned.

Timestamp in the  is going out of it's boundary.        AFAIK, the suggested edits timestamp was near to it's type (i.e. asked, proposed) like this:        Checked on Chrome (27.0.1453.110 m), Firefox (21.0) on Windows XP  The issue is in other Stack Exchange sites as well. E.g. Have a look at  on Physics.SE. Also in   Can we fix this?

I need to resize jpg images with Python without losing the original image's EXIF data (metadata about date taken, camera model etc.). All google searches about python and images point to the PIL library which I'm currently using, but doesn't seem to be able to retain the metadata. The code I have so far (using PIL) is this:  img = Image.open('foo.jpg') width,height = 800,600 if img.size[0] &lt; img.size[1]:     width,height = height,width  resized_img = img.resize((width, height), Image.ANTIALIAS) # best down-sizing filter resized_img.save('foo-resized.jpg')   Any ideas? Or other libraries that I could be using?

I want to add GPS location to RAW photos (from my EOS7D) using location data from my iPhone 5. Aperture doesn't save the data I added unless I export the RAW files as JPEGs.  I've searched the site using "  edit EXIF" to no avail.

Go to  Add a few photos to a photo album Go back to All Photos   See all of the photos there, even ones you copied to the Album. No problem here, per se. At least not yet.  What if you want to delete photos that you did not copy to that album?  Where is the selector or filter that filters those "in an album already" photos from this main view?  Or is there a way to create such a filtered view such that I can then cherry-pick photos for deletion?

I have a script that converts a file to another format, and I want the resulting file to have the same timestamps as the original, including the creation time (as shown by ls -lU).  I can use touch to set the access and modification time, but I don't see a way to set the creation time.

I've noticed that Shotwell has imported many images twice (e.g. from my camera SD card). Apparently the  once a photo is imported, tagged and then re-imported.  I have "write meta data tags" enabled in the settings. If I import a photo test-images.jpg and add tags to it the photo will not be picked up by the duplicate detection upon another import of the same file. The second time the file is imported it will be named test-images-1.jpg and placed in the library folder as per the active rules (not necessarily into the same folder).  test-images.jpg and test-images-1.jpg will have the same image data but due to the added tag/metadata the files are not the same anymore and won't be picked up by searching for duplicates (e.g. md5 hash).  My usage scenario that caused multiple duplicate is as follows:   I take pictures with my phone I import the photos from my phone, add tags but leave the images on the phone as I want to keep them for sharing etc. I add further tags to the imported photos After some weeks I repeat the import step from the phone and old photos that I have already imported will be imported again (with '-1.jpg' or '-2.jpg' added)   How to clean up the duplicates? Using a file name based search would be possible but I can't exclude that I have not imported a file ending with -1 to which was not imported as a duplicate.  How can I clean up my photo library? I tried to use the search function in Shotwell but with more than 1000 photos there must be a better, more reliable, less error prone an simpler way.  I'm not to worried about tags getting lost, typically the second import (the duplicate) has no tags applied.

I want to digitize my old family albums using a scanner and there are lots of photos in them. Thus far, my method has been to scan 4 images at a time and then manually cropping them in a simple editor like Picasa or Windows Live Photo Gallery. This has been pretty time consuming as each scan is followed by 4 crop operations. Scanning each image individually would possibly be even more time consuming.  Is there any software or simple plugin (preferably free) that does this job? The best solution I have found is in , but that's an overkill. Is there a similar feature for one of the free photo editors like Paint.NET or GIMP?

Sometimes I took a photo using my iPhone, and then later on, I wonder how long I have been there at that location, I thought of checking when the last photo was taken, and can tell the time when I arrived, but I found it wasn't easily possible to see what time the photo was taken.  Is there really a way to see the time that photo was taken, be it 1 hour and 20 minutes ago, without using any third party app and without importing the photo to a computer?  I thought this might be a simple photo info thing that might be invoked by some easy way?
