How to edit capture time +8 hours on multiple photos at once?

I missed to adjust the time on my camera when traveling between time zones, so now I got a large amount photos for which the time is 8 hours off. It matters particularly in albums where files from other cameras are also imported and I cannot sort things properly. I am using the cloud version of LR. Is there any way this can be accomplished? So far I have only been able to edit one photo at a time, which doesn't seem to be a smart way of doing it... I recall its quite easy to do that in Classic, but what about Cloud?

It's just as easy in Lightroom. Select all the images, then choose 'Photo - Edit Date & Time'. Read the explanation in the dialog carefully, you will then understand that correcting one image will automatically correct the others not to the same time, but with the same time shift.

Thanks for your reply, Johan. In my case, no dialog pops up. Also, it clearly states 1 photo even if selected multiple ones before starting the operation. Are you also looking at Lightroom Cloud on a Mac? Included a screenshot below that illustrates what I am looking at.

What do you mean with 'no dialog pops up'? This is the dialog! You do not have multiple photos selected, however. Lightroom clearly says that you have only one photo selected. This is how it should look (in a language similar to your own), and yes this is a Macintosh and Lightroom 3.3:
