P: Edit/Sync Photo changes the Capture Time.

I use Lightroom for culling through wedding photos, and as of yesterday's update, any time I increase or decrease the rating of an image (or apply any other kind of edit) it will add 4 hours to the capture time, therefore sending that photo to a random place later in the collection, only for me to find it again as I'm moving through. In fact, it just happened twice, as I edited a photo that had already been changed, and it added 4 more. What in the world??? This could prove to be exceptionally annoying.

Photos are syncing.

It appears every edit I made since Lightroom udpated (from 14.0.1 to 14.1 on Windows 11) earlier this morning has automatically bumped the capture time in my photos. Fortunately I can simply "Revert Capture Time to Original" to fix, but the auto-capture-time-change behavior was driving me mad (especially when I was filtering photos to be from a specific day...and they'd disappear as soon as I made any adjustments). I think the time stamps were being adjusted ahead by 8 hours...which sorta makes sense since I took the photos in Morocco with my camera properly set to that timezone, but I'm editing them back home (on Pacific Standard Time). Technically, I think the offset should have been 9 hours...8 hours would be the difference from UTC to PST, but regardless I did NOT want the capture time to be adjusted at all! I can't find any setting that would enable or disable such behavior.

I've rolled back to 14.0.1 and the problem is no longer present, so I am assuming this is just a bug in the latest update.

So, after I've opened a raw for edit in PS from lightroom classic, the original raw's date/time created has constantly keep changing every couple minutes from orifinal create date. noticed this as i have sort by create date. happens with multiple files. ever since dec 11 update

Same behaviour for me on macOS 15.2, also with roundtrip editing PSD files from Lightroom classic to Photoshop and back to LR. Date/time of file is shifting

We've opened a ticket for the Classic Team to investigate this behavior.

Hallo zusammen.

Wenn ich ein Foto bearbeite oder zuschneide etc, verändert das die Aufnahmezeit. Es wird nach vorne versetzt. Sortiere ich jetzt nach Aufnahmezeit in der Bibliothek, so werden mir diese Fotos nun als erstes angezeigt.

Vor der Bearbeitung.

Dann Foto bearbeiten und Ordner synchronisieren.

Jeder Bearbeitungsschritt scheint die Uhrzeit zu verändern.
Man sieht es auch oben in den Informationen.

Wie kann man das wieder ändern, das sich die Zeit nicht verändert?

Dieser Fehler zieht sich durch bis in die App, wo dann die Bilder auch mit der falschen Uhrzeit angezeigt werden.

Hi.

I'd like to report the exact same problem here since I updated to 14.1 yesterday.
I am processing a wedding and before the update i never encountered the problem. SInce yesterday most of the photos I edit get a -2h on the hour field (and therefore move within the collection ordered by capture time...)
Given the different time shift that pepople have been reporting i suppose the bug put the photo to GMT+0.
This is really annoying and time consuming to edit the photo afterward to correct the time.
Please adobe fix this asap.

I'm not sure it's GMT offset related, the photos I was syncing were taken during BST, so GMT+1, but it initially changed them by 12 hours, then each time I reverted the capture time it changed them by an hour less. So a photo taken at 10am first changed to 10pm, then 9pm, then 8pm.

Same issue here. Syncing photos to the cloud changes the capture time. I revert the capture time, it resyncs and changes it again. I should've just stayed on v13.

Same here... I have some images which have now drifted by a few days through cumulative shifts. Maybe I need to change the time in the opposite direction, and then when it sync, it corrects itself back to the right time

Do you sync these images to the cloud? I have found that editing itself does not change the capture time, but syncing to the cloud does. In my case it subtracted 4 hours, but that may be based on your time zone. A subsequent edit did not change it again, however.

Yes, it does seems to "happen" when the photo has finished syncing. LR Cloud Syncing is generally unbelievabley buggy, but this is a brand new one.

I am unable to duplicate this failure with the instructions provided. Moving this post to Discussions for visibility.

Exactly how are you "any time I increase or decrease the rating of an image (or apply any other kind of edit) " performing this action?

I'm either using the ] keystroke in Loupe view, or the numeral keys to assign a certain number of stars. Although it seems to happen to some images and not others, while occassionally it adds 4 hours to an image that I simply open full size in Loupe view. It seems erratic, but it's always an even 4 hours. Reverting the Capture Time to Original will move the image(s) back to their proper place, but as I continue working more images get moved.

To be clear, this behavior is new since the 14.1 update.
