Creation Date

I do a ton of scanning and the creation date is the date of the scan.  Not the date the image was taken.  How do I change the date.  I have been changing them one at a time.  Old al

Do these images have EXIF metadata, particularly the 'date created' tag?  If so, then you can use the "Adjust Capture Dates and Times" tool on the Tools menu.

If not, then PM isn't going to be able to help you beyond setting a date for the IPTC/XMP metadata.

Kirk, thanks for making me read the manual!  I figured out how to make it happen for me.  It will speed up my process.  I am one of many photojournalist who are scanning the legacy files.  Old Al
