Wow, that sure doesn't seem right. I wonder if the editing app you are 
using is saving the files by creating copies and then deleting the 
originals? That might explain it. I know the Mac doesn't change creation 
dates when just saving a file, and I haven't noticed it on XP either -- 
though I admit I do very little editing on that OS. Most of my image 
editors are on the Mac.
