To change an Event’s date:

You can change the date and time of the photos in an Event. Because Events appear in chronological order, changing the date of photos in an Event might make your Events appear in a different order.

Note:  These steps change the date and time for all the photos in an Event. To change the date or time for selected photos in an Event, see Change a photo’s name, description, and other information.

  1. Click to select Events in the Source list.

    If you’re in full-screen view, click the Events button in the toolbar. If you don’t see the Events button, click the button in the top-left corner of the window one or more times, until you see the toolbar change to the right one. Learn more about using the toolbar in full-screen view.

  2. Select the Event you want.

  3. Choose Photos > “Adjust Date and Time.” (If you’re in full-screen view, move your pointer to the top of the screen to make the menu bar appear.)

  4. In the dialog, enter a new date and time.

  5. If you want this date to override the date in the Exchangeable Image File (EXIF) information attached to the original photo, select the “Modify original files” checkbox.

    The changed date appears even if you reimport the photo from elsewhere.

  6. Click the Adjust button.
