How do I shift the time the image was taken for the raw files from my 10D? I would like to do this as a batch function. I do have a great solution with jpeg so for that part I am all set.

Thanks,
Drew

AFAIK RAW source files can not be edited. You can change any attributes of converted images, though.

I don't know about that. I'll bet you could use ExifTool to do it. I haven't tried myself and only experimented with ExifTool a little (adding Exif information to a RAW file that was not otherwise included) but it seems like it should work. You may have to write some Perl script to read the existing time and replace it with an updated time - I assume you can get a Perl interpreter for OSX.

I was able to edit the time in the .thm file. How does/will this play into fixing the time?
