Edit/Sync Photo changes the Capture Time.

Question

I'm having a similar problem, although the changes I'm seeing are typically a year or more added to the correct capture date. This is only occuring on files syncing from cloud to LR Classic (Mac OS 15.3.2 and LRc v14.2) - doesn't appear that 14.1 fixed this or it reverted upon 14.2 releasing. This doesn't happen to all imagers, and there doesn't seem to be any consistency. It's not happening only to edited files - it seems to touch pretty much anything. I've had to turn off sync on my main catalog and created a second catalog to only ingest these sync files to avoid mucking up my main catalog. Any ideas on how to address this? I've looked at potentially using EXIFtool to correct, as most of the files do have the correct capture time in date/time original and date/time but it's incredibly annoying to have images taken a year apart appear next to each other in the view by capture time. If there was an easy way to sort by another one of the EXIF time fields, that might help. Thanks.

Hi all - I'm having a similar but slightly different issue. My problem seems to be that some images sync'd from LR mobile through Adobe Cloud back to my LR Classic 14.2 (Mac OS 15.3) are arbitrarily having the EXIF DateTimeOriginal changed by nearly a year forward, impacting sort by Catpure Time in grid view not to mention placing these files in an incorrect folder hierarchy when syncing.

I really can't track down these random images and change these EXIF variables. In face, m,y attempts at using EXIFtool to correct these has also been unsuccesful as it's not compleltely clear to me what EXIF field sort by capture time is even using. I'm nearly at the point of wanting to simply delete all sync photos on LR Classic and wait to do a full resync once this bug is fixed. Although I'm not sure even that will fix my problems.

Thanks in advance for your help!
