Hello,
I'm in a hurry to print a few dozens of images from a digital camera and would like to print them with text description under them.
What I envision is to be able to convert image (in a JPEG file) which looks like this:
+----------------------------+ | | | | .. | | +----------------------------+
To something like this:
+-----------------------+ | | .. | | +-----------------------+ Rome, Italy, 17 July 2003
I then plan to go with these images to a photo printer to get hard copies.
1. The image might be a squeezed ("zoomed out") in order to free space for the description, if required. 2. It would be nice if the date could be obrtained automatically from the JPEG file (using exif tools?) 3. It would be nice to be able to do this in command line or via text files, instead of having to update each image separatly with an image manipulation program.
Googling around so far didn't bring up anything useful. I'm looking at the GIMP but me and the GIMP have never been on good terms so I'm still at the "dah? What's this?" stage of using it (would script-fu help here?)
Thanks for any help/pointers.
Cheers,
--Amos
The only way I know how to do it to work well is by using programs like a presentation program.
There might be a way to do it with Gimp, but I do not have it installed on this computer, but you may want to see the print dialog of Gimp and see if it have an option to print with comments.
