Hi,
I just loaded about 1300 images from a recent trip into Bridge and I realized that the date stamp "Date Created" in the exif and metadata is not correct. I'm still trying to figure out how the date in my camera changed, but the time stamp on every image is off a few months and 4 years. The date in my camera was Januray 2014, ugh. But the question remains, is it possible to change the date and in a batch style? I'm not worried about the time, but I would like to have the correct date showing under the "File Properties" section. Please help?
Many thanks,
Ruth

Otherwise the command line interface ExifTool program has a lot more options for the changing dates/times of your files.

Moved from Photoshop to Bridge
Yes, this is possible, although the exact date and time will be synced across all images.
Hope this helps!

Hi Benjamin,
Yes, that did change the date, thanks. But I noticed it didn't change it everywhere. When I'm in Bridge and do a Control I to bring up all the exif info, the original date is still there. Hopefully this will work fine. Thank you.

I had a similar challenge and this solution worked perfectly! I love the ability to add or subtract hours to the file creation date. Super helpful. Thanks a million!

This script is awesome! I was able to edit the times for some of my photos to synchronize among several cameras.
But camera has a persistent battery failure, so its clock reset to 1/1/1980. The script allows adding or subtracting only a maximum of 24 hours. I need to change these photos by 15830 days -- is there a way to do that?
Thanks!

You may need to update the Creative Cloud application and restart your computer to see the updated installer.

I hope I'm not being daft here - but im having issues with this. I shot an event with 2 cameras, and one was set up with date 2 months behind. I'm trying to adjust the date only, without effecting the time stamp, otherwise the images from both cameras won't be in sync.
It seems like an easy request, but I can't seem to change the date to selected images from cam A without it giving all the images the exact same time stamp?

You can select all of the images, go to Edit>Edit Capture Time and shift the time stamp forwards by selecting Hours>Add> 24 , keeping Minutes and Seconds at zero. You can do this for 24 hours maximum but this effectively moves the date one day ahead without affecting the time. You can keep repeating this until you clock up your 2 months! Test on an image copy first.
If you choose to change the time stamp to a specific date and time, then you would need to do that on an image by image basis or use a tool outside of Bridge such as Exif Tool or Attribute Changer.
