Re: Changing a File's Date Stamp

The digital camera had the YEAR set to 2010 and so all our picture

Is there a utility (or way) to change the File Year on the JPG's taken
this year?

How are you going to differentiate between pictures taken this year with
the wrong date and pictures taken last year with the correct date?

Something like

exiftool -AllDates+='1:0:0 0:0:0' DIRECTORY

or

exiftool -r -AllDates+='1:0:0 0:0:0' DIRECTORY

will change the stored timestamps on all files in the given directory.
The original files are saved with an _original extension, you can delete
them when you're satisfied with the result. Adding the -r option will
cause exiftool to recurse.
