>>So no matter what is done, none of it credible.

I would say that's pretty accurate. I would not consider either to hold much weight. A sworn affidavit saying they were accurate might work for most legal purposes. Remember, film photos were used as legal proof of all kinds of things without any date stamp.

If anything, I would think the on-photo date stamp should mean just a little more simply because if it's changed later and not exactly right it would be possibly for a tech to prove that it was not created by the camera (what you did in photoshop COULD be detected). Any 12-year-old hacker with a binary editor could change the EXIF data and there would be absolutely no trace of it being changed. With most cameras, you could even edit the photo and put it back on the camera (I can't be sure that that is not detectable, but I doubt it).
