Technical Corrections (EXIF Tab)

Time Shifting

  • Time offsets: batch-move "Date Taken" forward or backward while maintaining intervals between shots. Useful for correcting timezone errors or a mis-set camera clock before running a GPX match.
  • Dual-state CTA: the Time Shift control changes label and colour based on whether a shift is currently staged, so you can tell at a glance whether the next commit will modify dates.
  • Photos with no existing Date Taken will be assigned a timestamp derived from the shift value alone (effectively counted from the Unix epoch). This is rarely what you want. Select only photos that have a real capture date before applying a shift.

The EXIF Data Viewer: inspect, copy, or export everything the file knows about itself.
  • Metadata inspection: inspect camera and lens metadata.
  • Copy: copy the displayed EXIF block to your clipboard.
  • JSON Export: export all metadata into a machine-readable format for developers or downstream tools.

Privacy Scrub

The Privacy Scrub is a full metadata purge. It removes:

  • GPS: latitude, longitude, altitude, direction.
  • Camera identity: make, model, lens, serial number, owner name.
  • Timestamps: original and modified dates.
  • IPTC / XMP: keywords, captions, copyright, creator, usage terms, rating.
  • Thumbnails: embedded preview images.

While a scrub is staged, edit controls in other metadata tabs are disabled, because any edits would be discarded when the scrub commits. A "Manage Scrub in EXIF Info" link appears on the GPS and Tags tabs so you can jump back to the scrub control. The scrub is fully reversible before commit: use Ctrl+Z to undo, or uncheck the "Scrub" category in the Review Hub to cancel it.
