Pretty busy week, so we will keep this one nice and short.

Tip 003 — Edit­ing Cap­ture Time.

An issue that many pho­tog­ra­phers expe­ri­ence while shoot­ing away from home is that they for­get to change the time set­tings on the cam­era. When down­loaded, the images will dis­play the incor­rect cap­ture time. Thank­fully, this is very easy to fix in Lightroom.

Sim­ply select the image(s) you want to update. Go to Meta­data and click on “Edit Cap­ture Time.”
