(The
more photos you have, the easier this will be.) After a minute or so of
studying, you might find that, say, Kathryn??™s camera was about 3 hours
faster than the baseline, while Henry??™s camera was 6 minutes, 11 seconds
slower. (If you??™re not as compulsive as I am, you don??™t necessarily
need to get it down to the exact second.)
5. To fix the dates, pick a photographer (other than the baseline you chose
in step 4), and highlight all of that person??™s photos. Right-click the files
and select Change Date.
6. This time, choose the Relative Date/Time option and then make your
adjustments with the controls below, like the example in Figure 4-19.
Click Accept when you??™re done.

7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for everyone else??™s photos. When you??™re done, the
photos should be in perfect order when sorted by Modified Date (but
not Date Taken, at least not yet).
8. To update the EXIF data with your new dates, use AttributeMagic Pro
(http://www.attributemagic.com/). Select the recently modified files in
the main window, use the Change Dates feature, and instruct it to set
???date taken??? (exif) to ???modified??? (file system).
If you don??™t feel comfortable messing with your photos??™ valuable EXIF
tags, you can alternatively change only the filenames, as described next.
At this point, all your photos should appear in chronological order when
sorted by modified date or date taken, but depending on what you plan to
do with your pictures, this may not be enough.
