Date creation is different from date photo taken in Finder
Hello,
I didn't know where to post this question. When I import photos from my Canon T3i and my iPhone4, the creation date of the photo is the date imported, not the date I took the photo. While in Finder, if I look at the photo information, the creation date is the date the photo was imported (for both the Canon and iPhone photos). I'm trying to understand why this is happening. When I import the photos into iPhoto9, the date I took the photo is there. While that seems like the solution, it isn't since I don't import all photos into iPhoto. If I look at the photos on the memory card, the date is correct. The only time the creation date is not correct is when I import on to my iMac or MacBook.
I'm using Snow Leopard and have no plans to upgrade to Lion.
Thanks for your help and I apologize if I posted this question in the wrong discussion group.
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
