To maintain the file system level dates, you'd "Save As" and change the name. Some photo editors might want you to use an "Export" function rather than a "Save As", depending on their own weird ideas about what save means. sunflowers.jpg July25,2018 sunflowers_1.jpg Aug17, 2018 By keeping the same root name, you have some idea how the edited version refers to an "original" photo. petunias.jpg petunias_1.jpg sunflowers.jpg sunflowers_1.jpg The EXIF data on the original photo, preserves what the camera put there. Depending on how you've handled your artwork, and what happens with various tools you might use, the EXIF data might get "beat up" a bit after a bunch of edits of the _1, _2, etc intermediate JPG files. Windows even has a push button option to delete metadata, which gives another way to lose the EXIF data given half a chance. The beauty of computers, is you can lose just about anything when it comes to files. And generally the more effort you put into polishing stuff, the more joy the computer/OS takes in breaking your efforts. I've run into a few people who have spent hundreds of hours on their Media Center collection, adding artwork and descriptions, only to have that work "trashed". You can't trust a computer further than you can throw it in the back garden. Paul |

There are different properties. If you mean right-click - Properties, the date created should stay the same while the date last modified will be updated. If you mean EXIF data, there are different dates. Usually there's at least DateTime and DateTimeOriginal. I find that if I resize and even save as a new file name in PSP16 it will conserve both. (Assuming I save the EXIF data, which I normally strip.) But if I do something like brighten the image and save it then DateTime changes. Wacky. Those values are also editable. So what difference does it make, really? It means little. If you edit the image then it's not the same image, so it shouldn't have the same date. On the other hand, as long as you conserve the EXIF data you should still have the DateTimeOriginal, in case you want to have a record of when you took the original photo, which is really the only reason to have that date. Alternatively, you might include it in the file name or in the parent folder name: NH vacation 2018.jpg |
