Bridge Changing My Created Date

[kelkolkat]

I am in the process of submitting images for all the 2018 contest and I am noticing that Bridge has change the created by date when I renamed them.  The originals have the correct created date but the renamed JPG images have a date in 2017 and they were shot last year.

What am I missing?  Is there a setting that's messed up?

[Damien Symonds]

Does your system show the same?

[kelkolkat]

When I go into finder the images show an older date than what they were taken.  Is that what you mean?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Yes, that's what I meant.  But gosh, that sounds weird, doesn't it?  Is there something wrong with the date setting on your camera?

[kelkolkat]

They come into the computer fine, the date on the RAW files are correct.  It's something in Bridge that changes the date somehow..  It is so wierd.

[Damien Symonds]

So the dates on the raw files are still correct?  It's the dates on the jpegs that are wrong?

[kelkolkat]

Yes, once I bring them into bridge and make adjustments it changes the date.

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, thanks.

What about the PSD files?  Are they dated correctly?

[kelkolkat]

I just looked and oddly enough they have the correct date too.... You must be on to something.  What am I doing wrong?

[Damien Symonds]

Ok.  And how did you save the jpegs, exactly?

[kelkolkat]

I open from ACR into Photoshop, edit and then save.  Maybe something inside PS?

[Damien Symonds]

Hang on, I'm confused again.

You open from ACR into Photoshop, edit, then save as a PSD, yes?

[kelkolkat]

Yes, and then also save as a JPG

[Damien Symonds]

Immediately, do you mean?  "Save As PSD" then immediately "Save as Jpeg"?

[kelkolkat]

I edit them, then saved the edit as PSD and then crop and then save as JPG.  This happens within minutes of each other I would say.

[Damien Symonds]

Ok, and is that when the date is wrong?

[kelkolkat]

The JPG.  I did just look back at some of them and they aren't just on ones that I pulled into PS.  I have a couple that a solely edited in ACR that are doing it too..

I also go and rename all the files and change the meta data to have my information in it.  Could that be doing it?

[kelkolkat]

ahhh.. I just went to the metadata template and the box for date is checked.

[kelkolkat]

[kelkolkat]

Should I uncheck that date?

[Damien Symonds]

Well ... yes, I assume so.  Don't you think so?

[kelkolkat]

Yes, but your much more knowledgeable about it than me so I am making sure.

[Damien Symonds]

I've never encountered this issue before, but I reckon you've found its source.

[kelkolkat]

Thanks for the help.
