How to change photo create date back to exif create date, esp. when export from Photo App in Mac OS
EditLately I need to touch up photo in the Photo App on my Mac. Yet, after I export the edited photos, I found that all the create date became the date I export the photo instead of the date I took the photo. After some googling and I found a free tool call exiftool which can help change the create date to the create date in exif. The instructions are as follow
1. download exiftool from https://exiftool.org/ , I got the mac package which is a dmg file
2. go to the folder where you have export the photos from Photo App
3. right click the folder and choose "New Terminal at Folder"
4. Type/Copy and Paste the line below to the terminal and hit enter and wait the prompt to tell the process finished
exiftool -r '-FileModifyDate<DateTimeOriginal' *
