Photo date stamper

[Fred]

I have scanned a few photos that have writing on the back of them giving a
date when the pic was taken.
Is there a photo editor program that will add a date to a scanned picture so
it looks like it was on the original pic in say the bottom right corner like
modern cameras do?
Many thanks

I don't know of any program that does it automatically but you could
do it manually with any graphic editing program. Or you could just
add the date to the filename.

Want something to show up on the pic. Thanks anyway

I haven't played too much with these but...

Try Exifer <http://www.exifer.friedemann.info>

or, for command-line processing of a lot of files, JDateStamp
<http://jdatestamp.sourceforge.net/>
