Exif detail - time
AnsweredJust noticed that where the exif in Lr shows a photo as being taken at 18:28:59, L3 in the detail panel shows the time as 06:28:59. Bug or am I missing a setting somewhere?
Mac Preview also shows 18:28:59.

Colin, you're not being thick at all. First of all, I apologize as I have posted in the Mac forum, but I'm running the Windows version so there may be completely different behavior between our versions.
For the record, I decided to run an experiment to test my theory about time zone offsets. First I took a shot with my camera set to my local time zone (US Pacific Standard Time), and then took a second shot set to London time. The time reported by Luminar on both shots was off by +8 hours from what should have been the correct time for the respective time zones. So that debunked my theory; the 8 hour difference seems to be a coincidence. I also tried this with JPEGs rather than RAW files and got similar results.
All my other software (Windows 10, Lightroom, ON1, DxO, Nikon Capture) give the correct dates.

Hey, are there any updates on this issue? I'm currently evaluating Luminar 3 and recognized that the times indicated are not correct:
- There is a 12 hour time shift, instead of 22:00 its 10:00 (but same day, so -12 hours)
- The "capture time" is not the capture time written into the image meta data. As a result some other time, like "copied to hard drive"/"recent change" is taken as capture time. So all photos have more or less the same time when copied from the same source. The date/time is not comparable if you have multiple sources.
(Comparison with e.g. Adobe Bridge)
As I said, I'm currently evaluating Luminar 3 and sorting is a basic functionality.
4 Months for (not) fixing some time zone bug appears to be quite a long time...

Bugs like this are show-stoppers for some folk and make the software unusable. Skylum cannot get the bugs fixed in a timely manner yet continue to sell the software and sell it, as far as I can see, without bringing these known issues to the attention of potential purchasers. Surely there should be a bug list somewhere that can be accessed by all, be they current or potential owners of the software?

Hi Colin,
Have you already contacted us at support@skylum.com regarding this? If no, please, do so and we'll investigate the issue in a more detailed way.

dear skylum support team,
apparently the issus described above still exists in Luminar 4.
I've already contacted support@skylum.com
