Date and Time Bridge CS3
Hello, I am trying to set the time right so that Adobe Bridge can sync two cameras which were off by several mintes. I am changing Canon CR2 files and reading in Bridge CS3 on a Mac. Exiftool does seem to find the files and does write new files. It does not seem to change the time in the actual CR2 file but rather writes two new files: If the original is IMG_9837.CR2 I now get IMG_9837.CR2_original with a terminal icon that holds no image but tells me the original time and also shows that the file has been reduced to 8 bit (this file cannot be opened). Then there is another file with a text icon called IMG_9837.xmp_original which has a new time which seems to be a modify time rather than the incremented time I wanted which can be opened in Word with all of the metadata. Beyond this the original labels and rotation information are gone and no file with the original xmp icon exists. Any suggestions to set the time and also keep the original label information would be appreciated.
