How to Change Photos File Date Created

disco · 08-25-2008

I have been able to change photos Date and Time using Windoiws Live Photo Gallery. However, when I look at the photos EXIF attributes in another application I see that "File Date Created" is not changed (but Date/time is) and some programs such as the Wii photo gallery seem to use this "File Created" date and not the updated one. Can anyone advise how to change the original "File Date Created".

I have the wrong "File Created" dates in some photos as I did not change the date correcly when I changed the camera's batteries.

This application will allow you to edit the exif data directly.
