com.aspose.imaging.RasterImage image = (com.aspose.imaging.RasterImage)Image.load(path);
try
{
        // gets the date from [FileInfo]
        String modifyDate = image.getModifyDate(true).toString();
        System.out.format("Last modify date using FileInfo: %s\n", modifyDate);

        // gets the date from XMP metadata of [FileInfo] as long as it's not default case
        modifyDate = image.getModifyDate(false).toString();
        System.out.format("Last modify date using info from FileInfo and XMP metadata: %s\n", modifyDate);
}
finally
{
        image.dispose();
}
