Adding Date Created Field in PM
« on: August 03, 2016, 12:36:17 PM »
Some newspapers using Fotostation require a Date Created field to be added. You can see this in File Info in Photoshop (see attached screen grab) but not in Photo Mechanic. Any ideas?

PM should automatically set the Date Created field based-upon the Exif capture time.  This field is stored in XMP in Photoshop's namespace under "DateCreated".  In PM's IPTC dialog this field is indeed listed and can be modified (e.g. to "today" or arbitrary time).  This field is (by default) in the Event and Location section partway down on left hand side.

HTH...
