Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
I can't find a way to imprint the time/date on images made with the DS. Is that even possible? It's not something I'd usually do, but there are about seven snaps I need to make over the next week - 10 days where it would be very handy to have that feature.

The DS will not imprint on the visible image though. The file creation date should also have that info. -Adam -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net

The time and date are available in the EXIF data. I suspect that you will need to use that information and the text tool in Photoshop to do it.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
I think you'll have to take the EXIF data manually and do in Photoshop. Shel Belinkoff wrote: >I can't find a way to imprint the time/date on images made with the DS. Is >that even possible?

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
Shel - It may be worth checking the manual for the details of the DPOF function in the camera. I'm not sure if it's practical or a solution to your problem.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
Hi Shel, A quick google search turned out this: http://jdatestamp.sourceforge.net/ It's a command line tool (you run it from a DOS shell) that will do what you want.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
The DPOF function should give you the option of inserting the date on a print. If it's just for web publishing, both BreeseBrowser and Porta have the option of inserting the date as a watermark. -P Shel Belinkoff wrote: > I can't find a way to imprint the time/date on images made with the DS.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
I _KNOW_ the time and date is in the EXIF data. I need the time/date stamped on the picture. I will use my P&S for the six or seven snaps I need. Thanks 4 ur suggestion.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
I know about EXIF info. I want/need the date imprinted on the image. If the DS can't do that, I'll use my P&S. Was hoping not to have to carry around two cameras for ten days just to make six or seven snaps. Thanks.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
Because the client wants to see the info on the original image. She feels more comfortable that way, doesn't understand EXIF. And since I'm being paid for this, I'll try to accommodate her. I need the $$ now and don't want to argue with her ... these few snaps may lead to more mindless, relatively well-paying work.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
Good thought. I'll take a look later today when my manual gets returned to me.

Shel reads the EXIF data and then manually puts the date onto the picture using the text tool in Photoshop. The client has a picture with the date on it, Shel has a few more moments of post processing, but in return gets to give his client a picture taken with an SLR, and hopefully a better quality lens.

Re: Imprint Time/Date on DS Pics
Shel takes pic with P&S that imprints time and date on to photo. Client happy. Shel can buy dinner and feed his cats. Cats are happy. SLR quality is not important for these snaps. I am taking a picture of the client's thermometer which is located outside of her kitchen window. This is to happen on certain days and at certain times. Client may want to see pic in LCD of the camera. If Shel prints date/time on pic using Photoshop, client won't see date/time on pic in camera, should that be something she desires. Maybe client won't be happy. She's cats will be pissed.

Fair enough, I would show the client the info page and tell her the date and time that the picture was taken gets digitally transmitted to the print at the lab She can read the info off the screen if she likes. Sounds like the needs of the picture are simple though. William Robb -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
