Printing the date the picture was taken

Does version 5 of Elements enable the printing of the date a picture was taken on the picture itself? I know that information is included in the picture file, but do not know how to access it for printing on the photo itself.
It would be most convenient if Elements would allow the positioning of the date on the photo - especially if it has been cropped.
I currently use version 4 and have not been able to accomplish this task. If it can be done in 4, please let me know how.
Incidentally, I am not interested in typing a text field on the photo type of solution to this problem.
Thank you,
Lloyd Erickson

Lloyd,
1. Set up a new document, 1000px x 300 px, resolution 300 ppi, white background
2. Make sure black is the foreground color, then click on text tool
3. Type text. Size will vary depending on the font that you use; try starting with 36-48 - - you can always change it later. The text need not be centered as the large canvas gives you room to play with. You can drag the text into position if it runs off the edge of the canvas, or move it with the move tool.
4. After you have typed the text, CTRL+click on the text layer in the Layers palette. This will select the text only, without the background.
5. Go to Edit>define brush. At this point the brush will be added to the currently active brush set
6. To save the brush in the new set, employ the preset manager.
It has been my experience that a customized brush can be stylized to look quite elegant as we have discussed in several recent posts and that placement can be effected to preserve the aesthetics of a nice picture, albeit within limits.
HTH,
Ken

  • When I open up "originals" in my iPhoto library, the dates are not there or are incorrect.  I see date created and date modified, not the original date the picture was taken.  How can I find the accurate original dates?

    I have had a lot of issues with my iPhoto program. After many trips to the Genius Bar and numerous hours with phone techs, I am now rebuilding my library, starting with a backup of it from before the corruption. When I "get info" of a picture, I notice the original date the picture was taken (most important for me), is not there or is wrong.  When I check package contents of my iPhoto library, the originals show up, but most (not all) of the dates are wrong.  Can anyone tell me how or where I might find the original dates?

    I did post to the iPhoto forum and am hoping for an answer soon. I don't want to continue rebuilding my iphoto library if I can do it using originals. My library has 45,000 pictures...a huge job!

  • Is there a way to check the date and time a picture was taken

    I would like to be able to view the date and time a picture was taken on my iphone

    EXIF Wizard will do the job.  I also created an app that shows date and time.  You can scroll through your photos and automatically see the month and year change as you scroll - then pick a certain photo to see month/day/year and time.

  • How to print the date the image was taken as a watermark on the image

    I want to print the date the image was taken (available as EXIF-data) as an automatic watermark (or otherwise as a caption ON the photo, and not as a header of a footer above or under the photo). I can't find how to do it. Any help? Thanks!

    The only way you could batch this with out of the box PE is to put in via process multiple files in the editor, but you'd have to manually type it in and can only do one date per batch of files. So you could do all the photos taken on one day in one batch, but not a group taken on different days.

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

  • I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  Please help!

    I need help proving the date tag on a photo stored in my iPhoto is from the date it was sent to my iphone/date it was imported into iphoto - and that it is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.   I recieved a photo via text on my iphone and then I synced my iphone to my macbook and now it is in iphoto.  I already know that the date on the photo per the tag that shows up on it in iphoto is NOT the date the photo was actually taken.  I need article or literature or something confirming the tag is from when it was sent to the iphone and/or when it was imported.  I greatly appreciate some assistance!

    All I am trying to do is find something on a forum board or article etc stating that the the date showing in iphoto could be the date it was imported or synced or sent to me and not the actual date taken.
    The date on the photo could be anything because you can edit the date with iPhoto or any of 100 apps, free and paid for. So, the date on the photo will prove nothing, I'm afraid.

  • I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    I scanned an old photo but the date displayed is today, I want the date to be the date the photo was taken.  How do I change the date of the photo in iPhoto 11?

    There are two kinds of metadata involved when you consider jpeg or other image file.
    One is the file data. This is what the Finder shows. This tells you nothing about the contents of the file, just the File itself.
    The problem with File metadata is that it can easily change as the file is moved from place to place or exported, e-mailed, uploaded etc.
    Photographs have also got both Exif and IPTC metadata. The date and time that your camera snapped the Photograph is recorded in the Exif metadata. Regardless if what the file date says, this is the actual time recorded by the camera.
    Photo applications like iPhoto, Aperture, Lightroom, Picasa, Photoshop etc get their date and time from the Exif metadata.
    When you export from iPhoto to the Finder new file is created containing your Photo (and its Exif). The File date is - quite accurately - reported as the date of Export.
    However, the Photo Date doesn't change.
    The problem is that the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
    So, your photo has the correct date, and so does the file, but they are different things. To sort on the Photo date you'll need to use a photo app.

  • When i export my videos from iphoto onto my hard drive, they have today's date instead of the date the video was taken.

    how can i fix this? i sync iphoto with my iphone but when i export the vids onto my hard drive, i lose the date the vids were taken. help?

    thank you for your response. strange, though, the vids used to export with the file date that i shot the vid... it's only since i updated iphoto that this is happening. but i like your idea of adding the date to the file name... i just wish i didn't have to do that extra step now, since i have a lot of videos.

  • Mac Changes Date Picture was Taken? Why? Fix?

    Please excuse this question if it has been addressed before. I did a search in the forums and didn't find an appropriate answer.
    I am a new user to the Mac Pro. I am coming from a Dell, Windows XP. I use Outlook and Gmail (different addresses) for email (both in the Windows environment and now in the OS X environment too).
    On my Dell, when I receive a photo as an attachment and save it to my HDD, I can put my cursor over the photo (rollover) and the date the photo was taken will pop up.
    On my Mac Pro, when I receive a photo as an attachment and save it to my HDD (pictures folder), the OS changes the date the photo was taken to the date the photo was saved.
    Currently, to solve this issue, I am pulling the photos into my Dell so I have the dates preserved but I would REALLY like to be able to just save the photos on my Mac Pro and have the "photo taken" dates not change.
    I have tried saving the photos individually and I have tried using the Save All feature, I get the same results either way. I am not viewing the photo attachments before saving them, as soon as I receive them, I save them and then I go to view them (the pictures are from my sons who are currently in South America, not that it matters).
    So, what am I doing wrong?
    Thanks,
    Cliff Watson

    Thank you for directing me to the Show Inspector feature. Now I know I don't HAVE to save the pictures on my Dell first to preserve the date.
    Now, you know when you give someone an inch they want a mile?
    Is there a way to view the exif data or use the Inspector feature without having to open each picture individually?
    Thank you again, this is a huge help!

  • How do I change the date of pictures in an event?

    I have just noticed, the date on pictures in an event are incorrect ( Jan 2099 ).I have tried to change it, but it will not allow me to, any ideas?

    The date is taken from the EXIF data in the picture file.  That data is added by the camera when you took the photo.  First thing to do is to check the date and time on your camera, so this problem does not continue going forward. 
    It appears that iPhoto does not allow you to adjust the EXIF data, so I don't think you will be able to change the date, at least using iPhoto.  There may be some software out there that allows you to do this, but I am not aware of any.

  • Copying photos from iPhotos to an external hard drive, changes the dates the photo was created

    I have the odd query where when I copy photos from iPhoto in to any other folder, whether it's on the mac deskstop or an external hard drive, that the 'date created' on the some of the photos is changed from the date the photo was actually taken to some random date. This is sometimes the date that I move the photos and sometime a date seemingly randomly selected between the date when the photo was taken and then date I copied the photos.
    It doesn't make a different if I copy or cut and paste each file, and if I select all photos from a single event and copy then all in one go, some photos keep the correct data and others don't.
    Most of these photo of of my baby, so the exact date take is very important ofr reference. Current I have a 100 odd photos taken over a few weeks all with the same 'created date'. I have no idea if she was 10 week or 20 weeks old at the time.
    Any ideas? It's really frustrating me.

    No
    iPhoto never does anything with a photo that is not in its library
    Although it does not affect this do you have a default managed library or a (strongly not recommedned) referenced library - (The iPhoto advanced preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library" has been unchecked) which is strongly NOT recommended.

  • Retrieve the date a file was created in the background

    EDITED CONTENT----
    Apologies all...I just realized there is a specific forum for this type of question.  I will post it there.
    Thanks Marilyn for point this out>>>>should have read it first as suggested. 
    /message/2572763#2572763 [original link is broken]
    Hi guru's,
    I have a custom application that does some windows directory cleaning based an older than 'X' days setting.  I have to do some calculation to determine if the file being processed is older than that number of day and delete it if it is.  To determine the file created date I use the method DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES from CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES.  This works great in the foreground but dumps in the background because the handle object reference is not created in the class constructor and subsequently does a call to a "NULL" object.
    My question:
    Does anyone know of a way to get the date a file was created while running in the background?  If not, please read on --- I have another question regarding an alternate approach I am trying.
    I have tried the following approach FM EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING to return an internal table with all files in a directory.  Works fine in the background, but the created date is not in the return values.  Soooooo I looped at the internal table and called this system function:
            CALL 'C_FILE_ATTRIBUTES'
                ID 'NAME'     FIELD tempfile
                ID 'TYPE'     FIELD singleFile-
                ID 'LEN'      FIELD file-len
                ID 'OWNER'    FIELD file-owner
                ID 'MTIME'    FIELD file-mtime
                ID 'MODE'     FIELD file-mode
                ID 'ERRNO'    FIELD file-errno
                ID 'ERRMSG'   FIELD file-errmsg.
    This returns the MTime, which is the Modified time (in Epoch time format: number of seconds since Midnight 1 January 1970), but no created time.  Does anyone know the ID for the created time?  I tried CTIME but no value is returned. 
    Along with this question: any idea if a FM or Method exists to convert Epoch time to a standard time.  I could do the calculation myself....but it seems someone would have already done this.  No point in re-creating the wheel.
    Thanks so much,
    Quack
