Preview Options
Amazing! I didn't even know this option exists in MacOS!
But alright, stuff like that can happen if you upgrade from El Capitan directly to Ventura… 
Do not touch EXIF data

I maintain a certain number of .jpg photos of jewelry (thousands) sorted by creation date.
You could add the exif date to the file name by using the great tool Graphic Converter (lemkesoft.de).

In Column View in macOS Finder, you can see the Content Created date (and lots more image metadata) if you enable it in Preview Options:
Alas, if one is running an old macOS version like Catalina like I am, these are the only options for that:
So no image detail or Exif data options at all.

[Slightly off topic] Here are presented some options in macOS column view that are possibly unknown to some of us:

SAY WHAT?!
And that stuff is obviously available at least since El Capitan already – I just checked that! – and nobody told me!
Well, better late than never… -

So I just checked my other antique MacBook which can boot as far back as MacOS Leopard:
These options were probably introduced in MacOS Lion – which I have skipped for many reasons at that time – and they were definitely available in Mountain Lion.
If I only knew! It would have saved me literally hundreds of hours while I was searching, cataloging and sorting images and audio files via other 3rd party means…

Minor correction: the video is about revealing options in the list view, not column view.
That said, I knew about the right-click (a.k.a. Control-click) option to reveal more options in the list view but not about the temporary rename folder trick (like to Pictures, Movies, or Music) to get dimensions, duration, codex, & so on columns to appear in that view.
I'm not sure how useful it would ever be for me but it is nice to know it is possible.
