   That's up to your own system.  Images come out of the camera with   
   descriptors determined by the camera.  In my case, my Nikon names an   
   image something like _DNC4911.dng.  I re-name the image   
   2024-07-26-1.dng or whatever the date is.   The image is then adjusted   
   in Adobe Lightroom or Photoshop and saved or exported as a .tif, .psd,   
   .png, or .jpg depending on the intended use.   
      
   If I link to one of my images, the file name in that format tells you   
   when that image was taken.  Associating the date-taken with the image   
   by making it the file name has many advantages.   
      
   Using the camera-assigned file name, the date-taken can be determined   
   in Irfanview or other viewers, but it's an extra step.   
      
   I do follow the US custom of month/day in numbers, but FastStone would   
   accept 2024-JULY-26.01 if I choose to do so.
