File save/modified time not correct


Question

We currently use the subscription based software Acrobat, Illustrator, and Photoshop.  When these files are saved, the time is off by an hour.  For example, if the file is saved at 2pm, the file shows 3pm.  This happens for Acrobat, Photoshop, and Illustrator.  If I save a file in Word, Excel, or any other program, the save time is correct.  The PC time/zone is also correct.

 

I am assuming there is some kind of config in the software I need to make to address this issue.  Just not seeing where at the moment.

 

Ideas?

 

Thanks

NTFS writes these timestamps as UTC. Which timezone are you looking at? Are you viewing them on the same machine that created them?

dangit ... ninja'd.  /sigh

 

Was about to say I believe Adobe uses standard times only and does not take into account local variations such as DST.  You'll be good in November. :)

 

Edit:  Nevermind ... my photoshop saves with the correct day/time ... and I'm on DST.  hmmmmm

US Central Time.  Same machine and on different machines.  Time is off saving with the Adobe products, but correct with MS products.  Save/modified date is 1hr a head.
