Some years in the past firstly of an prolonged journey round Australia my digital camera (a Nikon) gave up the ghost so I began utilizing my iPhone 5s and it took fairly acceptable photos.
I used my normal means of transferring my images (not utilizing the Photographs app) and will extract the and manipulate the EXIF knowledge.
As a result of COVID-19 enforced journey restrictions I have not performed a lot touring or pictures.
I the meantime I upgraded to an iPhone 13 however solely used it for informal snapshots.
I lately returned from a visit to South Africa and took fairly just a few images utilizing the iPhone, which I’ve transferred to my Mac Mini utilizing Finder. For some cause greatest recognized to Apple it quarantined all my images, however I eliminated the prolonged attribute.
I seen I had a mixture of JPG and HEIC photographs (I’m certain there’s a setting to manage this).
I needed to transform the HEIC to JPG and scale back the scale for importing to a web site.
I’ve found numerous strategies (utilizing Fast Motion Convert Picture or in Preview)
The Convert Picture motion has an choice to Protect Metadata however this did not appear to preserve the Date Time Digitised or Date Time Authentic
My older code may extract this knowledge, however solely labored with JPEG recordsdata.
My questions are is there a technique to transform retaining these attributes or some easy course of to extract from the HEIC file (as a result of I’ve verified that EXIF exists).
Replace 1: I’ve discovered that the Finder Preview does really present the Date Time Authentic – which it calls “Content material Created”.
What I would like now is a technique to extract it and use to switch the date. My current workflow not appears to work
Replace 2: I’ve discovered exiftool -DateTimeOriginal extracts the specified Date/Time.
