I have been given the task of sorting out a image library (65,000 images) that has never been sorted managed or structured in anyway and related / connected images from the same shoot / time could be spread across several folders / places.
Is it possible to create a search that batches images into groups based upon
The date they were taken
The time they were taken
Eg: So that all Images taken on 10/10/08 are all lumped together
and that all images taken within 60 minutes of each other are batched togther
I have had success at getting the images together by date, but i cant seem to get them to
group by the date and time.
Any help / suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
What are you going to do to the images after getting them into groups?
Are we talking about file timestamps (Modified, Created) or image metadata (Shooting Time, Date Digitized)? (There are ways to copy one into the other so it doesn't matter a great deal, but it may require an extra step.)
By "within 60 minutes of each other," do you mean in the same clock hour? (e.g. "Taken between 10am and 11am") Else you could have:
Image1: 10:15
Image2: 11:00
Image3: 11:45
Image1 and Image2 were taken within 60 minutes of each other, as were Image2 and Image3; should they all be in the same group, even though Image1 and Image3 weren't taken within 60 minutes of each other?
