Guide: fix photo sorting in the Finder →Strip GPS, EXIF and IPTC tags before a delivery goes out, or stamp copyright and artist on every file.
Guide: remove metadata from photos →Remove the housekeeping files macOS leaves behind, with Put Back from the Bin, and stop the Finder writing them to removable volumes.
Guide: .DS_Store files on a Mac →Increment dates from a start date, copy dates from the originals to edited copies, or read the date out of the file name.

If you got the app anywhere else, download it again from here. Changing a date or a tag rewrites the metadata only: the image data is not re-encoded, so your pictures lose nothing.
