Changing Date and Time Stamp

Good evening. Am new to this, forums and discussions.  And do not typically utilize Lightroom in my workflow.

Question:  If I use LR to edit/change the capture time of a sequence of RAW files, will that metadata/edited

capture time be recognized in Adobe Bridge?  Am trying to synch another shooter's camera raw files to my

camera raw files.  Thank you :: Fletcher

    Yes, but you'll have to ensure the changed capture time is written back to the files' metadata (.xmp sidecar files, in the case of raws).  To do that, select all the files and do Metadata > Save Metadata To File, or set the option Catalog Settings > Metadata > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.

    Good morning, John.  And thank you for your speedy reply.  As I said, I do not work in Lightroom,

    but downloaded it as I read it is the only way to easily edit image capture time.  My normal workflow

    is Bridge, ACR and Photoshop.  I will give it a try per your notes. And again, thank you.
