Hi guys,

I am struggling with keeping date and time when exportin from raw to jpg. Basiclly I took photo on my Sony camera - in Adobe Bride i can see all the information but when i export to jpg, even though i have all metadata checked, I see in finder on my mac time and date of when i exported the jpg, not when i took the raw photo. If i go to Picture viewer app - tools - show inspector - exif - The informations are there, but somehow hiden inside of the file - not usable for me.

Even if I air drop the jpg to my iphone there is time and date of the export, not the when the photo was taken.

I couldnt find help anywhere, what would you recommend to me ?

Image files can contain multiple times. File system creation/modification and when the image was taken. Changing file creation date can mess with backup software, if you use (say) Time Machine.

For derivative images The file system date and time created is different to the original images. Is that right and you want them the same?

Yess. There is time of when jpg was created/exported.

I only know of using ExifTool to modify this data, however, any tool designed to modify file information could probably do the same.

To set the file created and file modified date to the original date/time of capture –

Windows:

exiftool "-filecreatedate<datetimeoriginal" "-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal" "C:\Path to file or folder"

Mac:

exiftool '-filecreatedate<datetimeoriginal' '-filemodifydate<datetimeoriginal' 'Path to file or folder'

Good luck!
