Hi Austin et al,
I played around with ImageJ's getMetadata function with some TIFFs,
and it didn't seem to return anything for them. So I second Wayne's
suggestion to try Bio-Formats. If it finds the date stamp in your
TIFF, it will display it in a field called "DateTime" in the metadata
window (make sure to check the "Display associated metadata" option).
Unfortunately, there is no easy way (yet) to use a macro to obtain the
results of the Bio-Formats metadata table. But you can copy and paste
it out of there into a text window (Command+A, Command+C, open text
editor, Command+V).
