ExifTools has no 10 file limit so no worry on that front. ExifUtils is a different program which is shareware. ExifTools (http://www.sno.phy.que​ensu.ca/~phil/exiftool​/ (external link)) uses a Perl license and is free.

The command line you're looking for (for ExifTools) should be something like:

exiftool "-AllDates-=:1: 1::"

or

exiftool "-DateTimeOriginal-=:1: 1::"

The format is Y:M: D H:M:S (with zeroes assumed). So -=:1: 1:: will shift back 1 month and 1 hour.

Note this from their documentation though:

"The inconsistency is handled by shifting the first tag found with the actual specified shift, then calculating the equivalent time difference in seconds for this shift and applying this difference to subsequent tags in a batch conversion."

So if you really want to just decrement the month and hour both by 1 then use:

for %i in (*.*) do exiftool "-AllDates-=:1: 1::" %i

If everything is from the same date/time then either will work fine.

e-k

I did it, and it said it worked, but bridge didn't seem to pick up the change. I re-downloaded the files with DIM and had it rename the images based on the time taken (not date) so I can order them ok. Thanks for the help everyone :)
