hi all

If you are talking about the creation date stored in the filesystem, then ExifTool can not set this date.  ExifTool can set only the file modification date (FileModifyDate).  The syntax is:

exiftool -filemodifydate="2010:03:31 10:52:30" FILE

to set the date, or

exiftool -filemodifydate+=1 FILE

to shift the date by 1 hour.

...where DIR is the name of a directory/folder containing the images.  On Mac/Linux/PowerShell, use single quotes (') instead of double quotes (") around arguments containing a dollar sign ($).
