Changing year/month of JPGs in a batch

[cyberbub]

Hi all,

Has anyone got any syntax for changing the year and month of a batch of JPGs, please? I don't want/need to change the dates or times, particularly.

The year/month fields I need to change are those that will mean that when I upload the JPGs (360-degree type) to Google Streetview, it will display a different year and month to the one I actually shot the photos.

Thanks very much for any assistance!

You can use a command like this (for example) to add 1 year and 2 months to the common date/time tags in a JPEG image:

exiftool -alldates+="1:2:0 0" FILE

The last "0" is for the time (shift by 0 hours).  Or you can use "-=" to subtract the specified number of years:months.
