To better remember one particular event captured with a digital camera it's
useful to see the actual date and time when the photos were taken. A convenient
way to accomplish this is to add the date and time on the picture itself.
So no matter if the photos are displayed on your computer or in a classic
photo-album, the original date and time stamp will be visible!
The easiest way to accomplish this is to set your digital camera to add
date/time stamps to your pictures, if the camera has this feature. However
there are some drawbacks to this solution:
The date/time stamp is not removable. So if you later decide to get
rid of it, you can't since the original image is altered
The date will not be correctly applied on portrait photos, since
most digital cameras do not automatically rotate the portrait photos
before applying the stamp
There are no options to configure the stamp's appearance so it will
not look very smooth
The good news is that the original date/time is written by every digital
camera in each photo (the embedded EXIF record) no matter the format you
shot it in (JPG, TIF or RAW).
This means that you can timestamp your images after moving them to your computer.
So the best solution would be to transfer your digital photos to the computer,
back them up, and then use a software program to put the date/time on your
images in batch mode.
Introducing BatchPhoto, a software program for Windows® & Mac® OS X that can:
Read the original date/time for every photo, from the embedded EXIF
record that all digital cameras write
Correctly imprint the date/time on portrait photos by automatically
rotating photos before stamping (the Auto Rotate filter)
Customize the font, color and even the text's transparency. The date format as
well as placement of the stamp are fully customizable.
Timestamp all your photos (JPEG, TIFF or RAW) in one session. One dozen or one
thousand photos is the same for BatchPhoto which takes advantage of muti-core
processors to greatly improve the processing speed.
Apply additional edits on your photos in the same session, including:
rename, resize, watermark, touch-up, convert, and even upload the
processed photos to Facebook®, Picasa®, and more!

Stamp date
A very convenient way to remember when a photo was taken is

who can usually display unattractive stamps that cannot
be removed afterwards. Learn more by reading the following article:

Using the program was easy and quick, I really liked the filters
it offered me as well as the filename modification. I was also
amazed at how many different output types were available. The
previews were also found to be excellent.
