I have just discovered what the Elements + tool, Meta Stamp, is all about and what it does; once I get it mastered, I believe it will be an asset.
There is one feature that I cannot figure out how to change the behavior of -- the Date/Time; instead of stamping the current computer date/time, I need it to stamp the Date/Time Taken.
I was able to open the date/time type layer and edit the date/time; however, this is a one-at-a-time solution.
I have fiddled and fiddled and I cannot figure out how to employ the Date/Time Taken in the Meta Stamp.
Is this possible and how do I accomplish it ?
Thanks for reading and all help is appreciated.

Hello BuckSkin I've just tested Meta Stamp in PSE 7. For me, the script shows exactly the date/time taken. Perhaps, your camera's EXIF has some specific date format. Please, be sure you are using up-to-date version of E+: In E+ Scripts dialog, run "About Elements+" script. If "version" is < "11.0", just pm me and I will send you an update link.  |

I tried another image, same camera and taken within minutes of the image that I was having trouble with the date; the only difference that I could figure was that the first image had a NIK Color Efex Pro4 filter/layer and the second one did not.
With no input from me whatsoever, this second image Meta Stamp displayed the correct Date/Time Taken.
This makes me curious as to whether maybe NIK may have messed with my date on that first image.
I intend to try to replicate what I did to the first image on a few test images and see if I can reproduce whatever caused that first image to want to display computer date/time.
For what it's worth, my version of Elements + is 8.0

Indeed, it looks like NIK modifies the EXIF date in the edited files.
I've emailed you the update link.

I got version 12 installed and there is quite an improvement in the behavior of the Meta Stamp feature.
It may have been there all along and I am just now seeing it --- but, on the bottom margin of the Meta Stamp dialogue, there is a little icon/button that says "Create Droplet"; I clicked it to see what happened and a box appeared with some options that were way above my raising; what is that box and what can it do for me ?
