photo date/time stamper?

[Spoon2001]

Looking for a utility that will take the date and time of a photo from the
EXIF data in a JPG file, and then put a user-configurable visible time stamp
on the image.

Looking for the following features:

- configurable date/time format
- configurable font (size, color, etc)
- configurable location of visible stamp; easy options like "bottom right"
or "bottom left" would be best, without having to specify numeric x and y
coordinates
- batch operation
- as lossless as possible

Irfanview does this fairly well, but I don't see a way to change the
date/time format, and it requires specification of numeric x/y coordinates.

I have been using the date/time stamping feature built into my digital
camera, but I just got a new camera and the stamp it puts on the photo is
incredibly UGLY! I'd like for the stamp to be rather small and
inconspicuous.

PowerBatch
http://www.unidreamtech.com/

Power Batch freeware batch-converts, resizes,
renames, rotates, adjusts, prints out your
watermarked photos and makes AVI out of your
images. Supported image formats are JPEG,
TIFF (including multipage TIFF), GIF
(including animated GIF), BITMAP, PNG and
JPEG2000. Resizing can use one of 11 example
filters. Renaming template uses a combination
of EXIF date/time, auto number, and any custom
string. Adjusting includes brightness and contrast,
gamma, RGB, HSL, HSV, grayscale, negative,
sharpness and softness. You create watermarks
the same way as in Photo Watermark Professional
and print your watermarked photos in the batch mode.
PowerBatch does not do batch watermarking.

You're not very bright, are you?
I like that in a man.

Note the last sentence. Unfortunately, PowerBatch does not do batch
watermarking, which was the OP's request.

Exifer allows batch watermarking. For location, you pick
left/center/right, and top/center/bottom. There is a margin you can
set too. You can insert date/time, filename, counters, and anything
from the EXIF or ITPC information. Choose your font, colors, opacity.
To do batches, you just select all the files you want to watermark
before you choose the Image->Watermark.

Exifer is freeware from http://www.exifer.friedemann.info.

Thanks Terry, downloading now.

I notice the program hasn't been updated since 9/2002. But if it does the
job, I don't mind an orphan!

Thanks to you too Conny, downloaded Powerbatch, though haven't installed it
yet.

Take a look at the free jdatestamp software I wrote specifically for this
purpose:

http://jdatestamp.sourceforge.net

The features you are interested in:

It is a command line program which can process multiple files also.

It is lossless except for the date text area.

You can give coordinates
in %. So -x 95% -y 95% would make it bottom right and -x 5% -y 95% would make it
bottom left.

You can specify the date format.

You can give any windows font file with a pointsize and also specify the color.

Suresh
