So let's say 13 for one o'clock and then thirty for 1:30. It's the year as four digits and then the month, let's say January 31st, and then the hours as two digits. I could actually change the creation date using the Touch Command. Let's start off in Terminal and I'm already here on the Desktop. If you want to cheat and change it you can though. A file creation date should be the date that the file was created. Like they took the photo and instantly put it onto their Mac. However some people would like the photo creation date to match the photo date.
So everything is fine and that may be all that you need to know. If I were to import this into another photo management app or back into photos it would use this date and time here as the date the photo was taken. I go to Tools and then Show Inspector and then here under info exif I get the metadata and there is the date of the original photo. If I double click on the photo it opens up in Preview. So it no longer remembers when the photo was taken. Now you may think that by exporting the file it has wiped out that photo metadata. That's what we see here in the Photos App when we get info on it. The photo in it has metadata that is the date that the photo was taken. I can see now the created date is June 14th at 4:01 which is right now. If I drag and drop it to the Desktop to create a file I can select it, do Command i to get info in the Finder on it. If I get information on it with Command i, I can see this photo was taken on May 27 at 6:59. Now I get a lot of questions about this particular problem that happens when you export a photo from something like the Photos App. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts.
