I've recently added a couple of new features to my Capture Time to EXIF plugin both requested by users - you can now set much older dates, and when updating multiple images, you can now add various intervals to each image in the batch.
Adobe have recently said that they're discontinuing the Creative Cloud Synced files service by February 2024. As the Microsoft 365 account for Office includes 1 TB of free storage, what do you think about it as an alternative?

Lightroom 12.3 came out today and the headline feature is an AI-derived Denoise. I’ll admit that I am ambivalent about it: I’m not so concerned by noise that I’ve bought any of the 3rd party AI-based apps.
