Change Date Taken for scanned images on a Mac

[Pixl8tor]

I need to change the "Date Taken" on scanned images on a Mac.
Does anyone know how to do this on a Mac
In Windows this task is as simple as selecting the files in explorer, right click, choose properties, then select the details tab and change the "Date Taken".
I cannot find this Date Taken anywhere on my iMac. The only place I can see it is if I look at the image in Preview and show inspector where I can see the Date Time Digitized or the Date Time Original. I think one of these might be the attribute that I need to change.
I could copy all of the files to a PC change the Date Taken and copy them back to my iMac, however, I would really like to Know how to do this on my iMac.
Thanks
Bill

Many software is based on this one: http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/

Load them into Photos and then from the menus at the top of your screen, choose Photos> Adjust Date and Time. When you do, you'll see a new dialog box into which you can put the correct info.

You can also do it with Terminal commands but its a bit of a faff.

Ps. Lightroom can do it to if you have that installed.

Thanks Robin,
I understand that I can make these changes in the Photos app, however, this does not change the date taken for the original file nor does it change the date taken if I then export the file from Photos.
I don't have Lightroom, I use Capture One.
