Claim One:
1. A method for automatically adjusting temporal creation data for a plurality of images, the method comprising: receiving a plurality of image files associated with the plurality of images, each of the plurality of image files including an initial creation date; sorting the plurality of image files into a plurality of creation day groups based on the initial creation date of each of the plurality of image files; analyzing the image files associated with the plurality of creation day groups to obtain daytime length information for each of the plurality of creation day groups, the daytime length information associated with a sunset transition time and a sunrise transition time for each of the plurality of creation day groups; analyzing the sunset and sunrise transition times to determine an average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups; determining a baseline creation date based on the daytime length information by analyzing the average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups in order to determine a baseline creation date, the analysis of the average day length comprising: analyzing the average day length for each of the plurality of creation day groups to determine the creation day group with the longest average day length; setting the initial creation date for the creation day group with the longest average day length as the baseline creation date; and correlating the baseline creation date to a predetermined date value associated with the longest day of the year; and adjusting the initial creation date of at least one of the plurality of image files based on the baseline creation date.
