Download Google Photos With Original Date
Sunday Egerer
There are two metadata types associated with a photo: the file metata and EXIF metadata (which is the image info). What you see in the Finder window is the file metadata date and that will change when copies are made, files moved to other volumes requiring a copy, etc. The EXIF created date remains with the image but you need an app that can read the EXIF metadata fields to view them. The multicolumn Finder view will show the EXIF data but can't be sorted by it.
In Photos 3.0 on High Sierra the original file creation dates should be preserved, if you use the command "File > Export > Export unmodified Original". Then Photos will not need to render a new file. But if you export the edited versions, a new file needs to be rendered and the file creation date will be the date of the export, because the image file is not the same as before, as OT explained.
There is an added complication with iCloud Photos Library. With iCloud Photos Library the original image files may have to be downloaded from iCloud, and then even the file creation date of the original image files may change.
For info on how to export videos and pictures from Photos on your Mac, go through the steps in the following link. When you finish exporting your photos, the metadata should still include the date when the picture was taken but may also include the date of export as well:
Photos get modified to have current dates when uploaded into the storage of a computer, which originally had the date set as 2017/08, for example. I tried using programmes, namely Google Takeout: all .zip files come out with the date 2020/12, still.
I surfed the Internet for about an hour or two with no avail. My alternative would be using Attribute Changer after downloading the file, but that shit would be painful to utilise for adjusting each and every photos' specific date and time.
When I export my photos they are all getting the date of the day I export them (using darktable).
That makes me some problem when later I save edited and unedited photos together in the same folder and try to sort them by date, or uploading them to google photos.
For example, I edited photos now (2020) of a trip I had in 2018. After edited some photos and uploading them to google photos I see them on the timeline of 2020 and not with all the rest of my photos in 2018.
I discovered that by transferring files to the Nextcloud it changes the created / modified dates of the files to the date of the upload. Is there any way to prevent this happening? Because I would need my files uploaded(transferred with the original created/modified dates in their metadata (e.g. for specific search orperations).
As it is now (deleting the original creation/modified dates) causes a couple of unnecessary problems for me on the level of organizing my data.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks

We had such a remark on the web-interface a few days ago, it was reported to the bug tracker:
github.com/nextcloud/server Issue: NC keeps original modified date on files bigger than 10MBopened by amarttinezon 2019-04-08Steps to reproduceUpload any file bigger than 10MB (Drag&Drop or '+' Button)Expected behaviourUploaded file modified date/time should be current date/time (now)Actual... 0. Needs triage bug
I do not know if the bug was removed in version 16. I noticed a certain regularity, so the multimedia files (films) sent along with the photos have the correct date of the performance in contrast to the pictures.
There does seem to be an ongoing issue with this in Nextcloud which looks to be mostly resolved in later NextCloud versions - see the entry in the bug tracker here: Consistent handling of last modified dates when copying/moving files Issue #15192 nextcloud/server GitHub
I am using Instagram API and I need to get the original click date of the photo. Currently Instagram API give me the date the photo was uploaded to Instagram, but not the original click date. This an issue since it changes the meaning of the actual context of the photo.
Isn't it the original click date and uploaded date same when then photo is clicked from inside the app? And if you are allowing a feature to add photos from gallery then there is no original photo only its instagrammed version exists. ie: The original photo is stored in gallery location and the new photo after editing is stored in instagram folder or app folder. The is no relation between the original and edited photo. So getting the date of creation of one file from another unrelated file is impossible.
As mentioned in the title, sometimes the desktop or mobile application used to process/edit a photo, especially if it has been moved, copied, re-saved, etc.. would cause the very original date of the image, the date it has been shot the first time, to change or even disappear. One would then be stuck with a "fake" date that reflects the date on which the image has been processed or saved last time.
Now does the original date remain "engraved" there, somewhere, no matter how much editing/processing work an image has undergone? Is it encrypted, or embedded somewhere in the file metadata or the EXIF data? In this case, is there any tool/software that can retrieve that original date from where it still is?
Irfanview has a "lossless" rotation feature that will preserve the original date/time stamp in the EXIF information. I use it for resampling photos (it has a very nice Lanczos Filter based resample option, for interpolating images with outstanding results). I also use it for Redeye Correction (see some examples at _kd510z )
If you want a compact camera that produces great quality photos without the hassle of changing lenses, there are plenty of choices available for every budget. Read on to find out which portable enthusiast compacts are our favorites.
I would like to keep the original date when I extract all the files of a RAR file. As it is all the dates are changed to today's date. I'm using the most current version of Opus and Windows 11 pro.

With the first option, you choose quality, size, resolution, and other options from menus, and Photos transforms your source image, including any modifications you may have applied. With the second, the raw original image is copied. For many images, you may not have made any changes at all, so the second option is effectively identical to the first, only without any transformation.
I have been uploading old scanned photos with DateTimeOriginal set to the date that the photo was originally taken to the best information that I have. However, in Flickr, they seem to all now get no date time taken. It would be niced for my family to be able to sort by date taken.

Since I'm no fashionista, I turned to websites such as Family Chronicle, which also has published two books on dating photos, for help in matching styles with a particular era. Consulting experts such as Maureen Taylor, whose website includes a blog and provides teleseminars, are also a good resource.
Apple introduces several new privacy settings with iOS 15, including the ability to better manage the metadata in your photos. With just a few taps, you can effectively spoof a photo's geolocation and change its creation date and time, providing a sort of disguise over your personal information. If you constantly take and share photos, it's a welcomed feature, but its results are not permanent and can be reversed.
To tweak the location and creation time Exif data for photos and videos, you'd open the media in the Photos app, then swipe up to view its information, just like you would when applying a loop or bounce to a Live Photo. There, you'll see the option to adjust the creation date/time, and you can tap on the map to edit the location.
This privacy feature allows you to share photos and videos from your iPhone more comfortably because you can control what data others can see or uncover. However, if you ever change your mind and want to undo your changes, you can revert to the original data at any time.
Reverting is useful when you want to keep your media faithful to your adventures or want an organized photo library since changing the metadata affects how things are displayed in your albums. You may also want to share the real geotags and creation date/time with family and friends.
Aside from location, you can also bring back the original date and time of the photo and video. On the image's info page right below the caption box, tap "Adjust" next to the spoofed date/time. This brings up the date and time picker. To go back to the original date/time, as well as the original time zone, tap "Revert."
I received a text with a picture yesterday. I am testing EXIF Wizard. When I saved the pic to my camera roll (iPhone 4) and view it in EXIF Wizard, it gives today's date. How do I get the date the original picture was taken?
Google Photos is designed to be where your pictures live, but what good is simple storage if you can't find the shots you're looking for? The app has some great search tools, and in addition to finding pictures featuring a particular subject, it narrows your search based on when you took them. Here's how to search by date to see the photos you want on your Android tablet or phone, iOS device, or the Google Photos web app.
If you're viewing photos on the web, hover your mouse on the extreme right side of the page to reveal the timeline scrollbar, then drag it vertically to navigate pictures uploaded in different months. That's the primary way to search for images by date on Google Photos. But if you're looking for a specific date, like a friend's birthday or pictures from your first date night, you can do a lot with the search bar.
