I noticed you have 'protect existing XMP on' in Edit > Preferences > Metadata. I can then do the same and see how IMatch updates the EXIF and how it sets the XMP during re-import.Ģ.

Include a link to this topic (I get many emails per day) and tell me which corrections you would make to the file. You can send a sample original image to support email address. Impossible to tell more without having a file here. Click on any of these dates in the Metadata Panel to show the full data, including the time zone. The Metadata Panel shows the XMP timestamps in your local time zone.

EXIF has no time zone so ExifTool assumes that the time is in local time zone, unless perhaps the EXIF data on your files has a time zone recorded in some EXIF extension. When you set EXIF data that way, time zones can become an issue. This shows us the EXIF and XMP data in your files.ġ. Open Windows Notepad and paste the text into it. Your screen shot not even includes the EXIF data.Īfter running the ECP, select all the text in the right box. A screen shot of the ExifTool Command Processor (ECP) does not help much.
