I hope some of you can assist me a bit.
How can read the content of IPTC-field Date Created? If I open the file image file with tool it shows the "Create Date" value even if the IPTC-field is empty. Is this field exif capture time?
Is there a way to show only certain IPTC-fields (Creator, Date Created, keyword,...etc)?

With what tool? Exiftool? Or some other program?

Did you use the command in FAQ #3 (https://exiftool.org/faq.html#Q3) to see all tags, including tags with duplicated names? Or if you want to view only the date/time related tags, you can use
exiftool -G1 -a -s -Time:All /path/to/files/If you are using exiftool to list the data, then there are several places that can be
CreateDate. The most common is the
EXIF:CreateDate, called
DateTimeDigitized by the EXIF standard. This is the time stamp for when the image was turned into a jpg (or whatever other file type). In a digital camera, this is the same as the time an image was created (which is the
EXIF:DateTimeOriginal). For a print photo that is scanned, it would be the time of the scanning, though most people don't worry about the difference.
Then there's the
IPTC:DateCreated which is part of the older IPTC IIM standard. It contains
only the date value, as the time value is held separately in
IPTC:TimeCreated. I believe this is the tag you are looking for, as it has a tag id of 55 on the IPTC Tags page (https://exiftool.org/TagNames/IPTC.html).
Then there is the
XMP-photoshop:DateCreated, which is part of the IPTC Photo Metadata Standard (https://www.iptc.org/std/photometadata/specification/IPTC-PhotoMetadata).
Then there is the
XMP-xmp:CreateDate, which is part of the EXIF for XMP standard, made by CIPA, which is the group that makes the EXIF standard. This is the XMP version of the tt]EXIF:CreateDate[/tt], i.e. the time the image was digitized, not created.
Finally, if you are looking at the file in Windows by right clicking->Properties, Windows will show you "Date Created", which is actually the file system time stamp,

To show only IPTC IMM tags, you would use
exiftool -IPTC:All /path/to/files/
