Exported Photo Creation Dates Wonky
Howdy!
I've been thumbing through some similar issues, but can't seem to find a thread that addresses this one specifically.
My iPhone photos are automatically synced to iCloud and then down to the Photos app on an MBP running Catalina.
Everything's nice and smooth. Except that when I export photos -- even using the "unmodified originals" option -- the creation date is wrong.
EXIF data is correct. The date and time the photo was captured is in there. But the creation date shown for an exported photo is neither when the photo was taken nor when it was exported. It's somewhere in between -- either when the photo is synced from the iPhone up to iCloud, or when the photo is synced down from iCloud to the MBP (I suspect the latter, but I'm not sure).
Driving me nuts, since I spend a lot of time shuffling through precise creation dates/times for photos in Finder (and Path Finder). Is there some way to get exported photos to display the true creation date?
Any assistance greatly appreciated!
