its a question i have asked many of times with no reply , is why i have given up on the themes. I use pse and as soon as i use layers i loose the date ..
Would be nice to get an answer to this though !!!
I think that the first of the month date is because the system here can't determine what date the picture was taken. The internal EXIF date has been "erased", so to speak. I can't say what poladriod.net is doing, but I know that if I use the "save for web" option in PSE6, I loose all the data that shows in the "More Detals" window of any of you pictures.
@liipgloss If you use PSE, and the organizer, you might want to try right clicking the photo you are going to upload, find "change date and time" (I think that's the title) and correct the date. Other open source programs can correct the metadata.
@noliesjustlove Rumor has it that Ross uses the date taken and date uploaded to narrow down the themes finalists. But he would have to give a definitive answer on that.
J A Byrdlip , just wanna say a huge thanx because from all the asking i have done about this subject no one had any idea how to fix/change it .. i will try it next time im processing . thanx again
all of my photos have the wrong date in the details now. Since I edit them all to add my signature, the dates get all skewed just like you said, back to the first of the month. I just give them the dates in my picture title and in the day I give for the upload.
All of my pictures say they were taken in 2007. I have changed the date a few times on my camera but it still says this. I still enter into the theme- I do not know whether I get disqualified or not. @rich57 - I agree they help my creativity!
Regarding the collages - I tried Picasa as per suggestions in a discussion I started and even there it didn't save the EXIF data, BUT that could be because I uploaded the final product to Picnik afterwards. Either way, I don't think it makes a difference to the themes as there have been photos without a date in the top 5 before.
For some reason when I load my photos from my camera to my computer it changes the date to 2016!!! I've checked the settings on both and they're both set to 2011. I thought it was only on photos I've edited but I've just gone through and it's almost all of them! I know I can fix the date manually on the photos, but I'd just rather not have to do that each and every time. Anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
@rich57 Yes I was wondering about that. I can't figure out why my camera sets the dates for a year or more ago and its a new camera and I am a new photographer here so I have been feeling kind of dim.
I have the same issue - the camera dates are set for some random date last year and I haven't figured out how to change it. I have been putting the the 'right' date on them as I upload them to 365 but the 'date photo taken' still shows up wrong when you click on the technical details - a problem for the themes?
Same for me, all my photos has the same date AND time; it drove me nuts till I discovered that it came from the overlay I use in all my 365 pics. I can't avoid it; what I do is, before uploading it, right click on the file\properties\tab Details and change it. What I can't change is the time, but that doesn't bother me.
Some days ago I made a new overlay -more flexible than the previous ones- and this one respects the date in the EXIF data. How cool is that???!!!
EDIT: I forgot! I 'play' under Windows 7 and Photoshop CS2 (I know, I know... ;-))
