Images in Photos on Mac

Is it possible to edit the metadata in someway?

i have acquired a used camera and incorrectly changed the date in the camera Set Up Menu to 2012 instead of 2019. Is it possible to move the images into their correct chronological place in Photos?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.13

Changing Photo "Info" in Mac OS I find it easy to change the "info" on a photo using the IOS Photos App, however, using the Mac OS version makes the task nearly impossible. Try changing the date of a photo to another year by typing in "1927" for instance, and all you can enter ate the last two digits, "27." Also, how in the world do you change the location "Info?" Good Luck!

Wrong Creation Date for The Photos Exported from Photos App I exported all of my photos from photo library by opening the Photos app, clicking File> Export> Export Unmodified Original for # Photos. After one or two months, I wanted to see the photos by the creation date but when I checked the creation date, I saw that most of them were the same date (probably the date that I exported them). Is there any way to restore the creation date back? I want them to be in the order as Photos app used to show them. I tried to import them back by creating a new photo library but it was no solution. Is there any possible way to restore the creation date of the photos to their original state? I use MacBook Pro M1 13" .

There is a built-in command to correct the wrong camera clock setting:

In Photos, select all photos at once, that you have taken with this camera.
Then use the command "Image > Adjust Date & Time".
Set the date and time to the correct date and time of the first selected photo. The dates for all other photos will be adjusted by the same offset.
