Using Photos in Library

I took hundreds of photos on a trip with my iPhone.

Can I export photos so that they include the location and date without having to change all of them manually in the info?

Export from where to where? iPhone's automatically will include the location and capture date in the EXIF metadata fields for each photo. The library will display a mini map in the Info pane along with the date.

If you're exporting out of the library the EXIF metadata will be retained (there are problems with the IPTC metadata, i.e. keywords, titles and descriptions with the current Photos version).

If you export the original file out of the library and select the subfolder option

you'll get photos in folders based on the date and location like this:

If it's important to include all of the EXIF and IPTC metadata in the files currently the only format to use is .png.
