I have written a small utility allows you to stamp all the photos in a folder with the date that they were taken. It reads the EXIF information imprinted by your camera and places a watermark with the colour of your choice on the bottom right corner of the photograph.

Enjoy and hope you find it helpful.

Adding Date stamp in batches
22-Jan-08
Some of the new digital cameras do not have the feature to add the date stamp
on the pics. Our software Picture Motion Browser will add them it's easy;
only thing is (from what I can figure out) is we have to add it to each pic
and that is crazy
Is there away to add the date stamp in batches
Thank

It would be a mistake to add the date graphic over the photo in th
camera, since it is very easy for it to hide important picture detail
(and a camera can't possibly know where it is safe to add it)
This function is properly a specialized function of a photo printin
program, since only a *printed* photo does not automatically contai
the date and time when the photo was taken (in its EXIF data)
Many photo viewers will "overlay" selected data about a photo, includin
date, but I haven't had any need for one that would print photos wit
this information "in" the print
I'm sure someone here has experience with a program that does this

I'm guessing you mean the type of dat
stamp that is visible on the picture whe
it is viewed or printed
Maybe the following free software woul
be worth a try

Michael; I guess it's a personal preferance to have the date on photos or
not. At first I did not like the date stamp on my printed images. Now that I
mainly use my pics on the computer and as a screen saver and to email around
I/We love it. The date stamp (which sits on the bottom left side) is fun when
looking at our pics
My mothers old Sony camera; like my Kodak both have the option to have the
date stamp put on the pic when the pics are taken or not. Her new Sony camera
does not have this feature (as most newer ones don't seem to from what I'm
reading)
Her software Motion Picture Browser has a neat feature that allows you put
the date stamp on in choices of colours; formats and in locations on the pic.
You can also remove it as easy as you put it on. Very simple click of a
button. The only thing is that you have to go thru each and every pic to do
this. We want to be able to do it in a grouping or batch.
Thanks again,
LisaB
