How to change the dates when picture is posted and taken?

How to change the dates when picture is posted and taken?
UPDATE December 13, 2020: Currently there are no magical way to get images uploaded. The only way to make something appear as "new" is to change the 'Posted' date of some old images as explained on this old post of mine.

Hover the mouse cursor on right side next to 'Posted on...' or 'Photo taken on...' date. Click on appearing '(change)' link. Then change the date as you wish on the opening dialog box.

For example you may wish to change the date 'Posted on...' to make some older upload appear on your contacts' 'News'again. That trick is perfectly alright to do, to for example make some useful blog article or image appear again on 'News' after doing some updates on it. Moreover, this trick is useful if you first upload image as private, and then later on wish to turn it public and appear on 'News'.

To change date when 'Photo taken on...' is useful if for example you have forgot to correct your camera's calendar, or you have scanned some old printed or film media images of your's.

Update by Bernhard (Bergfex):

Please note that re-posting has no influence on the placement in the gallery.

This is because the gallery does not use a date stamp, but the sequential number of the upload, which is entered during the upload and can never be manipulated.

For this reason, old images will never appear in the gallery if you move them to the front of your photo stream by changing the 'date posted'.

Update concerning the group contributions

Moreover, there is no need to worry about the order of group contributions, if and when the 'Posted' date becomes changed. All the contributions and their order within the groups remains as the same.

Vielen Dank für den Hinweis, Sami! Ich habe das allerdings schon öfter benutzt, auch um ein ganzes Album zwar öffentlich, aber nicht aktuell zu machen,

Thanks Sami,
This only applies when you know the exact date (Month, Day, Year) If you know only the year you can´t change the date.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Eva Lewitus club
Then you have to give some estimate:

Spring = May
Day = 15th
Morning = 09:00

That´s an idea. But is that the point to have the DATE on this page?

This is a really useful tip!
I always upload my photos as private so I can add descriptions, tags etc. or change around between PiPs. When it's all done I correct the upload time and make the photo public.
Changing the date when the photo was taken is not only useful with scanned photos but also with some editing tools which change the date to the day of edit.

I also have to do this often. But this is because a high propoerion of my shots these past 10 years have been with a Fuji Finepix 100 that is a percfectly fine, if modest, little pocket digital but the date has always been about 15 mo ths behind and better techical people than me have not been able to resolve it!

"Computers" are mysterious... =(

I immediately searched on that camera model, and found this:
www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3794825

Maybe not the same issue as you have, because there people mentions only hours, not months.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Sami Serola (inactiv… club
Thank you, Sami. I guess it's just part of a widespread problem with Fuji. In any event the camera hasn't worked at all these past 6 months so I am only using my mobile at the moment!

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Andy Rodker club
Well, I am most of the time using mobile as well ;-)

It sort of takes one back to old days! =D

With phone camera one is more or less bound to fixed focal length, and one has to use all skills to get along with that.

I have changed the date of some pictures and tried, but when I want to post the image, the same message saying that it is not possible to post at present time is always there !
3 years ago.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Marie-claire Gallet
Are you trying to set the "Taken" later (more present) than the "Posted"?

That probably causes the error you describe. The point is especially to change the "Posted". Please read the caption through again to understand when one needs to change the "Taken", if ever.

EDIT: The "Posted" means more or less the date when you wish the image appear as new at ipernity, nothing else. Whereas "Taken" should match with the date when the photograph has been taken, or image created.

Here is an example: www.ipernity.com/doc/serola/40919620
I just changed the "Taken" date for July 1991, when I recall taken that picture. I have photographed it from a dia slide, so there would have been EXIF date for it other than provided by the camera I used to reproduce it.

Bergfex club has replied to Marie-claire Gallet
There is a wide variety of dates, which must be well distinguished from each other.

In the chronological order:

- taken (captured, photographed)
- edited (picture processing)
- uploaded (physically to ipernity)
- replaced (optional)
- posted (published)

To change the position in the photo stream, only the last date can be used = posted.

Es funktioniert auch das Zurücksetzen des Veröffentlichungsdatums (zum Beispiel um ein Jahr), um zu vermeiden, dass viele neu aufgenommene und hochgeladene Bilder die vorigen in der sichtbaren Reihenfolge verdrängen. Das ist nützlich, wenn man diese Bilder als anklickbare PiP's einfügen möchte. Beispiel:

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Ruesterstaude club
Yes, I do that often, to change for example the upload order, when a number of shot uploaded at the same time are not in the right order to become presented.

Thank you for pointing this out, Sami
I would like to put a picture from my gallery at the very front.
But I can't figure out how it could work.

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Heide club
Do you mean an album cover image, H.-Marie?

How-to for that:

1) Use 'Organize' tool (button on top).
2) Choose 'Albums' tap.
3) Choose album where you wish to change the cover image.
4) Select image for the cover, and drag it onto cover image square on the left.
5) SAVE (button also on left, below description).

OR:

1) Go to albums on the top tool bar on your pages.
2) Choose album.
3) On 'Tools' menu (on right), select 'Change the album cover'.
