- Check the top-left box to enable/disable time stamp.
- Use [^], [v], [<], [>] buttons to move the time stamp up, down, left, right, respectively.
Tip: Press and hold the left mouse button on these buttons to continuously move the stamp. The longer the button is pressed, the faster the movement will be.
- Alternatively, type in the x, y coordinates directly to move the time stamp.
- The meaning of x, y coordinates are dependent on the method of alignment. Use the pull-down list next to the y coordinate to select the method of alignment.
Note: x and y are always positive. When the alignment is to the left/right, x is the horizontal distance from the left/right edge of the stamp string to the left/right edge of the photo. When the alignment is to the center, x is the horizontal distance from the center of the stamp string to the left edge of the photo. When the alignment is to the top/bottom, y is the vertical distances from the baseline of the stamp string to the top/bottom edge of the photo. The stamp string is left/center/right justified when the alignment method is to the left/center/right.
- Use the Font button to bring up the Font Control Dialog and change the font attributes.
- Use the format pull down list to select from a list of pre-defined time format, or select custom (the first entry of the list) to bring up the Custom Format Dialog and define your own time format. These are the predefined time formats:
21:50:38 HH:MM:SS 24-hour mode, hour has no leading zero. 21:50 HH:MM 24-hour mode, hour has no leading zero. 9:50:38pm HH:MM:SSam/pm 12-hour mode, hour has no leading zero. 9:50pm HH:MMam/pm 12-hour mode, hour has no leading zero. 09:50:38 HH:MM:SS 24-hour mode, hour has leading zero. 09:50 HH:MM 24-hour mode, hour has leading zero. 09:50:38am HH:MM:SSam/pm 12-hour mode, hour has leading zero. 09:50am HH:MMam/pm 12-hour mode, hour has leading zero.
Tip: For a photo that does not contain valid time code, you may use the custom format to create a time stamp of your own. Simply bring up the Dialog and type whatever string you want to stamp the photo.
