Photos - batch changing dates by 1 year

Question about altering the ?metadata that states a photo’s date on a MacOS Big Sur, Photos app…


I think I took a whole bunch of images on a digital camera that had the date wrong by a year.. (eg. data says taken eg. 01 July 2011 when it was 01 July 2012.


Is there a way to batch change the date on multiple images by adding on a year, but not allocating them all with the exact same modified dates?!?!

Thanks!!

Hi Tommy,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


We are happy to help with the issue you are having your Photos date and time. Check out the section "Change a photo’s date and time" in Add titles, captions, and more to photos using Photos on Mac in the Photos User Guide.

Select multiple photos, using the "command" key > Follow the steps in the section titled "Change a photo’s date and time" > Change only the year > Each photo will keep the same info, except for the adjusted year.


Cheers!
