I bought a Panasonic Camera, DMC-FZ7.



It came with software called PhotoFunStudio. This software allows BATCH affixing of dates to photos and BATCH renaming of files. Both of these features are very important to me. However, what is missing is the ability to add text directly to the photo. Also, I am not impressed with the font size that PhotoFun Studio uses to insert dates. Font is much too large, distracting when viewing the photo.



It would be nice for me, (wishful thinking), if I had a software program that did BATCH features noted above and possibly a BATCH feature to add text directly to photos.



Does GIMP have BATCH features?



If not, is there any software that does these three features.



Thanks in advance for any replies.

Gimp does have some batch features, but relies on you being able to program in scheme (Not certain if python-gimp allows the option of python scripting as well.).

Imagemagick will add text to images, as well as many other effects, but to use in "batch" mode requires that you can do some sort of command-line scripting.

Either way, you'll have to learn some script language of some description. :) (Option 2 on a linux machine will probably be easier.)
