Title: Time shift without rebuilding metadata
Post by: wazzup on July 01, 2013, 06:07:06 AM
Hi.
Is there a way to apply time shift to CR2 files by only patching DateTime tags?
After all they are just a text strings in the metadata.
By 'patch' I mean changing DateTime tags in such a way that modified and original files will binary differs only in time values.
Because when I use exiftool -AllDates+=1 test.cr2 exiftool also updates internal tags (such as StripOffsets) and moves preview image.
Is this possible at all?
