#SORT PHOTOS BY DATE IN PHOTOS FOR MAC SOFTWARE#
If your only objective was to “batch change” all Titles and/or Descriptions for a group of photos to the same information, then this solution more than likely solves your problem. However, if you were most interested in giving a group of photos a similar yet unique Title, then you're still going to have to take the process one step further.Today’s topic is one that frustrates many newbies when getting started on their digital collections! Why are there so many different dates, and how are they different from each other? What is Date Created, and how is it different from Date Taken? What is Date Modified? And why do different software programs call them differently sometimes? #Arrghh… With this blog post, we hope to cut through the confusion and help you decipher the differences and why they matter. If you have “ View > Metadata > Titles” selected, you will also now see the same Titles below each of your selected photos. In the case of this example, if I click through each of the three photos, I will now see the Title and Descriptions are all the same in the Info window. Then hit enter.Īll of the information you entered should now be the same for all of the photos you had selected. 3 In the Info window, click in the title or description field (or both), and enter in the information you want to be attributed to all of the selected images. Now all photos you want to select are highlighted with a blue border. If multiple photos are all next to each other, a faster way is to click on the first photo, and then hold down shift and then click the last photo of the group which “bookends” all of the photos together.

However, this doesn't mean there aren't some workarounds to produce at least some of the missing capabilities. And even though Photos is destined to improve with every version that comes out, years after its initial release, Photos still lacks some of the important features iPhoto already had - including “Batch Change”. Set the Description (caption) information for your photos, with the additional option to append this new description to their existing description.Īs you're probably aware, Apple discontinued iPhoto and replaced it with Photos for macOS.You could also select whether you wanted to save this new date and time information to your original photos' files. Set the Date and Time the photos were taken to a new date and time even the ability to add a set amount of time between each photo.Set the Title to Text, Event Name, FileName, Date/Time or even make Empty.From the new window that slid down, you had a wonderful choice of changes you could make to all of your selected photos. In iPhoto, there was an easy to find menu item, with a clear name called “ Batch Change“.Īfter selecting the group of photos you wanted to modify, you then went up to “ Photos” in the top menu bar, and clicked on “ Batch Change” from the list of options.
