How do you display on the photograph the date it was
taken on? When I go to print the picture the date does
not appear and I can't find a way to display it using the
camera's menu so I was hoping there is a way to display
it when I go to print it from Microsoft photoshop. If
anyone know please give me a heads up. Thanx :)
 
Download the free software here:
www.irfanview.com
Open your picture with this software.
Make a rectangle over an area of the picture where you want to enter the
date. You do this by clicking a point with your mouse and dragging the
pointer downward and across. Once this is done, click on Edit on the top bar
and click on Insert text into the selection.
A window will open, click on Append date. The software will read the date
picture taken from your photo file. You can also add more text if you want.
Then select the font, size, color and OK.
If you made a mistake, click the Undo button.
When everything is right, click on Save. Be aware that once you save, this
added text is permanent.
A good idea is to practice on a copy of your picture first. To make a copy,
right click on the file name or thumbnail and click on Copy on the opening
menu. Then hold the Ctrl key down and press the letter V. This will add a
new file in your folder with the words "Copy of" in front of the original
file name.

If you want your camera to automatically imprint the date on your photos
when you take them, look in your manual. Most digital camera have this
feature, but you need to set it before you take the pictures.
