Any easy way to add a date stamp to a digital image? - pinkoos - 02-08-2007

Hi,

Our digital camera doesn't print the date stamp in the lower right hand corner of the images like our old camera used to do. I know many people don't like this feature, but we do and would like to find an easy way to print this date stamp on the image (maybe an iPhoto plug-in or something like that?).

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

You mean visible on the actual print?

Your camera should already be storing metadata that is viewable in iPhoto as to the exact time/date.

I understand your position on this.

There's a Windows program I found to do this, but no Mac programs. Of course, I haven't looked in a couple of years.

Congrats on your beautiful child. Looks a lot like his older brother!

Graphic Converter will do what you want with JPEGs. Right-click on an open JPEG and select "Insert Time and Date"

Have fun!

Thanks! He (and his 2 year old older brother) is keeping us very busy.

Thanks for the link. Viable option, though it seems a bit complex.
