Update Photo’s "Time Taken" using Windows Live Photo Gallery
Posted by mikeg on December 9, 2009
I am continuously being impressed with Windows Live Photo Gallery. Here is yet another useful feature:
Sometimes I use two cameras at the same event (point-and-shoot and DSLR) and whenever there is a party or vacation with friends, I end up pulling together pictures from all the cameras and combining into a single album. The problem is that the cameras’ date/time are usually not synchronized, especially when traveling to another time zone. There are a few utilities (not easily found) that allow you to update date/time, but Live Photo Gallery is easier/more logical to use.
Pick one or more images and adjust one or more controls – in the screenshot above one of the cameras was incorrectly set to AM, while the event was in the evening. I adjusted AM to PM and it preserved everything else
Rarely used, but very helpful function.

Any chance you could say how you get to this functionality?

Select one or more images, right click and you should see as one of the options “Change time taken…”
FYI: this functionality is also present in Picasa
