Photoshop sorting problem

[todd1664878707]

I posted a similar message in a different forum, but only got one

response that didn't help me. I shoot Nikon RAW and convert my NEFs

to JPGs outside of Photoshop. I then import them into Photoshop CS

via the Browse tool. I wanted to sort them by the time the images

were taken, but when I sort by "Date Created" it sorts the images by

the time the JPGs were created and not when the image was taken which

doesn't work for me. Any ideas how I can access the EXIF data and

sort by the date/time the image was taken?

Hi, I had that problem once and was able to sort by Date Modified.

 

Don't know if that will help in your case,

Thanks Mark, but I tried that. If I sort by date modified, it does just that. I've been editing the photos all along, so it uses the modified date to sort them.

I don't use Photoshop CS, or the Browse tool, or a Nikon camera. However... :)

 

I shoot with a Canon, and leave it in continuous numbering mode. The file name numbers keep the photos in the order they were shot, so I sort on filename. I then see Raw and JPG files right next to each other. While the JPG has the date of the last time it was modified, the RAW shows me when it was shot.

 

Will that work for what you want?

Thanks Benjamin but that doesn't work for me either. I shot a wedding with two cameras so the file names are out of sync, but the time stamp should be accurate.

You can with other tools, but not with PS CS Browser. Try ACDSee or one of the other suggestions.

Are you willing to rename your files? If so, <a href="http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/index.html">jhead</a> can rename files based on EXIF data that you select. Then you can just sort by the new filename.

<I>You can with other tools, but not with PS CS Browser. </I><P> You can with Adobe

Bridge in PsCS2. bridge replaces the Browser in PsCS and Ps 7. I know this works because

I've done it when using multiple cameras. You have to

make sure that the camera clocks are all synchronized with each other.
