How to retain original file data

[nweatherstone]

When I edit a photo in Photopad, original data such as time and date created is lost and the date of editing recorded instead.  This is not helpful as I want to know when a photo was taken.  Can anyone guide me to a solution?

Is it still true that latest photpad version does not retain original photo date

How I can keep EXIF data (date taken etc) when saving in jpg format?

By default the data is lost...
