Number Six Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Had a batch of 24 images passed QC this morning and just noticed that all of the "Date Taken" info is wrong by several months, and appears to be the dates on which I edited the shots. No idea why this should happen and have not seen it before. I have not updated my software or changed my workflow, and my image organizer is still displaying the correct "taken" dates for all the uploaded images. Is the heat wave effecting my brain, or is something whacky happening? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I also had a batch pass this morning but the dates are all correct. Never known it to be otherwise. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeRay Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I mentioned such an issue about 12 months back when periodically my images show as having been taken 01/01/1970. What's bemusing is that the date discrepancy can occur in a series of same day/same camera shots where only a few out of (say) 24 are wrong. It's still happening occasionally.

Ed Rooney Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 Ah, yes. There seems to be some problems going on in Alamy's uploading, QC reviewing, and the Alamy displays. Could these be 50-thousand images problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted July 27, 2014 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Had three batches go through QC last week. All have correct dates. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Hutson Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 1/1/1970 is the linux epoch date there upload system (probably running on a linux box) is probably occasionally having problems with reading a date from a file. By the description it sounds like the system first tries to read the creation date (from exif or something else) then uses the file date and if that fails it uses the default linux date (epoch). -Philip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
