Stamp sequential number on photos

Post by dscphoto »

Is there a way to batch watermark separate numbers onto photos. For instance, 001...002...003

Thanks!

An interesting idea, but I think the answer is no because there is no way that I can see to increment the number written onto the image, someone prove me wrong... :wink:

If there were a way, using the watermark action would in any case require a watermark image to be created for each number to be written, which might be tedious; a better way would probably be to use the Text action which could write the required characters directly if an increment facility existed.

However, I think you could probably do what you want using the command line utility NConvert to run a simple batch file that uses the text function to write a variable that is incremented in a loop... :D
