hi i am using acdsee for a longtime because it is compact and easy to use and sometimes photoshop when i need to remove unwanted thing from the images. the problem is when i edit file in acdsee it never changes creation date of files unless if i create new file (save as) but in photoshop it changes to creation date to moment i edit when i use "save" (ctrl + s) not "save as".

so how can i change this? is there any setting for this or if not why adobe changes the creation dates which absolutely ridiculous since we have "modified date" for this.

Windows

Where are you looking?

I use a Mac, I can see that information in the Finder window, or if I click Command + I with the file selected I can see both.

And it does show my Created Date and my Modified Date (which I saved today as a test) which you can see below.

If you have a Mac, in order to see this info in your Finder you can right click just to the Right on the top bar where your current titles are (see pic)

hope this helps!

i have windows as i indicated and when i right click and open properties i can see the file creation date. it updates file creation date every time i edit image and hit "ctrl +s".

actually you only mentioned " (ctrl + s)" as the small detail to let me know you have a PC. But im reading fast....

in any case... this seems to be a PC issue, not a Photoshop issue.

You can check out this article I found, and there is a part where it seems you can uncheck the Created BY atribute, I wonder if that would prevent it from updating? Im not a PC user though ... sorry... just trying to help

see "Using Attribute Changer To Change Windows 10 File Attributes" -- scroll down a bit
