Hi!
I wonder if anyone knows about a program that could make it possible to change the metadata in a photo file. F.ex if you have the wrong date on your camera and this messes up your sorting of files in iPhoto (I know you can "edit" dates in iPhoto, but they dont change the real dates, and you are not able to see them once they are changed)
I use iPhoto06.
Please help!!

You can change the capture date in digital files with PhotoInfo. However, for iPhoto to recognize it the file must be reimported (if it's already in iPhoto) into iPhoto. PhotoInfo can do batch changes if they are located in the same folder. So to do that you'll probably have to copy them to a folder outside the iPhoto Library folder, run PhotoInfo, and then reimport.

THANKS!! Great! It worked fine!!
You don't happen to know about a way to batch resize photos as well?
Like you do in Win XP when you want to send photos from Explorer....
Greatful for your answer!

Yes. There's a 3rd party application, Resize! that will do the job but you'll have to export the file out of iPhoto to a new folder and then run the application on that folder.
