Title: using the FILENAME to change the DATE TAKEN
Post by: sachin10dulkar on August 22, 2010, 11:26:45 AM
i have 1000's of scanned slides, each has a date taken of the date that the scan took place. i want to change these using the filename i gave them. the first component of the filename is the date the pic was actually taken in the format YYYYMMDD.

is this possible????

can it be done for a large batch???
