Photo naming and time management
I have certain photos in Aperture that were shot in PDT. The images were shot in California, but I am now back on the east coast. These images were shot in 2004. I am now chaging my file naming system to: "Custom Name", "Image Year", "Image Month", "Image Day"_"Counter".
***The problem I am running into is that Aperture is naming my files according to EDT (Because that is where I currently am, I presume), rather than by the images Metadata.***
Therefore, any image with a time stamp of 12:00 am - 2:59 am is being named with the "Image Day" portion as the previous day than what the Metadata reveals, and images shot from 9:00 pm - 11:59 pm is being named with the "Image Day" portion as the following day. This is incredibly frustrating when it comes to file naming and organization. Why doesn't Aperture use the images Metadata to name the file appropriately?
When I change the time zone on my computer to West Coast time, it corrects this issue. Is this really the only way to work with this type of issue? Why doesn't Aperture just recognize the photos exact date and time and shown in the metadata and name the file appropriately based on that?
