mogrify -density 300 -font Arial -pointsize 16 -stroke white -fill white -gravity SouthEast -draw "text 100,100 '%[EXIF:DateTimeOriginal]'" stampme.jpg

using

Code: Select all

%[EXIF:DateTime]

doesnt work either

can someone tell me what i'm doing wrong?

thanks,
Leon

Try something like this:

Code: Select all

mogrify -font verdana.ttf -pointsize 16 -draw \"gravity SouthWest fill white text 0,0 '%[EXIF:DateTimeOriginal]'\" sunflower.jpg

NOTE:
1/ I have used a font I have uploaded to the same folder verdana.ttf
2/ Mogrify will overwrite the original image.
3/ Text 0,0 will not offset the text from the position stated in gravity; if you want it moved add a value to 0,0.

this is in my stamp.cmd file

Code: Select all

mogrify -font Arial -pointsize 50 -stroke white -fill white -gravity SouthEast -draw "text 100,100 '%[EXIF:DateTime]'" -density 300 print.jpg

when i go into command prompt, and type stamp.cmd....it shows as the following:

Code: Select all

mogrify -font Arial -pointsize 50 -stroke white -fill white -gravity SouthEast -draw "text 100,100 'DateTime]'" -density 300 print.jpg

it seems to strip the "%[EXIF:" and actually imprints the text "DateTime]" on the picture.

??

If you are using Windows, then the % is probably being interpreted as introducing a script variable.
Try using a double percent - %%[EXIF:Datetime]

From IM Examples,
Drawing Special Characters in the Text String
About Percent Characters
http://www.imagemagick.org/Usage/draw/#percent

Up until IM version 6.2.4, the '%' character was used as an escape character to include extra image information in the drawn text string. This is no longer the case as such escapes were confusing and incorrect when SVG images also tried to draw percent characters.

The solution is to use -annotate which does understand % escapes, and was added for that reason. It also does NOT have quote within quotes issues.
