Adjusting Date and Time after Import
One of the most annoying pieces of metadata to work with is image date and time. It's very useful
to figure out when a shot was taken and if it's a sunrise or sunset, and you've probably set the date
and time on your camera, but what happens when you shoot outside your normal time zone or
forget to update the time for daylight saving time? Fortunately, Aperture lets you adjust an
image's capture date and time both while importing (see Chapter 2) and after the fact.
To adjust an image's date and time, follow these steps:
1.
Select either a single image or group of images.
2.
Choose Metadata
➪
Adjust Date and Time.
Aperture displays the dialog shown in
Figure 4.13.

The Adjust Date and Time dialog makes it easy to fix your images'
time stamps.
