Remove Photo Date Stamp?
I'm using a Nikon CoolPix 7900 travel camera. I just returned from Europe with about 1,000 photos on SD cards for this camera. When I download the photos using PS Elements 2.0 every photo has a Date & Time stamp on it. I don't know how or why this happens since I don't think my camera has a feature for specifying this information?
Is there any way to remove this date & time stamp before printing the photos? I still have the original photos on the cards.
I'm desperate and willing to upgrade my version of PE to a higher version to be able to accomplish this task.
Thanks, in advance, for any advice you may provide.

Thanks Barbara for your reply even though it wasn't what I had hoped for. I have the clone tool on my PE 2.0 and understand how to use it. It will be quite painstaking to use it for all my photos.
What is the Healing Brush Tool you speak of? Would it be more efficient for my purpose than the Clone tool?
For your information, I have taken photos with this same camera before and no date stamp has appeared. I have changed no settigns that I am aware of and now suddenly the date stamp appears? I'll double check my users manual for an explanation.

How Do You Remove The Date Stamp Setting On The Powershot A590 IS?
The Date Stamp on our Powershot A590 IS was set by accident, and now we cannot seem to remove it. Anyone know how to change this setting, so that the Date Stamp will not be embedded within our photos (it even seems to be showing up on ALL of our pictures, not just the postcard sized ones . . . but those are our biggest problem, as that's the size we tend to use most)?
Again, I'm not asking how to remove a Date Stamp from a picture, but how to change the settings so that the Date Stamp isn't applied in the first place.
Any help would be appreciated; Thanks!

Does anyone know how to remove the date stamp from photos?
I don't remember how I added the date ON the photos to begin with, and now I don't know how to remove them!
Try the Retouch tool in iPhoto. Otherwise you would need to use a 3rd party image editor, like Photoshop Elements that has a clone or healing tool to remove the date from the image.
This is what PSE can do but it might be a bit overkill for just doing dates.

Removing date stamps from photos
Hi,
Can anyone please advise if there is a quick and easy way to remove the date stamp from photos. My brother has a heap of great landscape shots he's taken over the years, however he has always had the date stamp set on his old camera - he knows better now and won't use it in the future. How do can he improve the quality of the photos he already has by removing the date?
CheersUse the magic extractor tool.

But you need to do the same for each of your single image.
No way to do for all in one go except for resizing the images in one go via File->Process Multiple Files to that much size which can remove date stamps.

Can I remove the date and time from an image taken on my Powershot SX510 HS for printing?
Natalie1, Once the photo is processed in the camera with the date stamp, it's permanent to the photo. The camera will not have that as a layer to turn off and on at will. It's much easier to add the date/time stamp to a shot for printing then it is to remove it. You will need some editing software such as Photoshop Elements, or Gimp (free), to remove the date/stamp. These software's can do a pretty reasonable job to remove any unwanted elements from the photo. Canon also has their Digital Photo Professional software that comes free with the camera, but it's not as easy to get the nice results of the Photoshop Elements. The change you make with these software's will remove the date/time stamp unless you only mask (layer) it. Steve M.

How do you remove the date/time stamp from a photo before printing?
I have one group of photos in an event that have the date and time stamp on them. I don't know how to remove the date/time stamp before printing.
If you have your camera set to imprint the date/time on the photo you can not "remove it - it is a part of the photo - depending on the surounding photo you might be able to retouch it out

Removing date stamp from photos
Some of my old photos were imported into iphoto with a date stamp from the camera/ Is there any way to remove this before I print them?? I have iphoto v 7.1.5 THANKS!
1 - it is good to go through the iPhoto Tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/#retouch
2 - after you take the tutorials just play with it - Command-z will go back one edit - photos menu ==> revert to original will remove all edits and "revert to the original"

Re: removal of time/date stamp
How do I remove the time/date stamp from photos in iphoto?
Where is the time/date stamp? If it is in the EXIF data then you can not remove it but cna modify it - select the photo and use the adjust time/date command under the photos menu
If it is on the photo then it is a part of the picture and can only be removed by editing - retouch or clone tool - you need to turn that feature of the camera off so it will stop putting the information on teh photo

Removing date stamps placed on images by camera
When taking some photos with a Nikon digital camera, the button that places a date stamp on the image as the picture is taken was inadvertantly on.
Now I am trying to remove this data from the image and am wondering if anyone knows a fast way of doing this.
I can tediously remove the pixels involved but then can't seem to fill in the gaps with something else. The usual replace color capabilities don't seem to work either.
What am I missing?
Thank you.You can use the Date Removal Tool - no, I am only kidding here.
Unfortunately, you have created an image with the date/time as part of your image. There is nothing "below" this. The best that you can do is try and recreate the area of the image that WOULD be below that part of the image.
As has been stated, the Clone Stamp Tool, and also the Healing Brush/Patch Tool will go a very long way. If one uses these at a high magnification, it does require some hand-work, and a good eye, but can be done.
For what it is worth, the video folk are broken into two camps. Half want to "remove" this, and half wants to "add" this, regardless of which camera they used. If only they could get together, and all would be happy.
Hints: look closely, so slowly and small, and be patient with your efforts.
Good luck,

I am newbie to Lightroom but am quickly loving this program. One of the issues that led me here is date stamping. Our dSLR does not allow for date stamping (Nikon D40x). What it does is retains the "capture date" in the metadata ( i beliee most cameras do). We take approximately 1,000 photos a month and would love to have them date stamped.
Our processing is done through Kodak, who will not read the capture data from the metadata and stamp on the photo.
My next option was thir party software - in comes Lightroom 3. Well reading through the forums I found this was possible via LR Mogrify 2. It was installed and it works great. The amount of time I save vs the Gena Photstamper is incredible. The problem I am having now is that Kodak auto crops the pictures before developing which crops the date stamp (located on the bottome right hand corner).
I have selected on the Kodak site "print entire picture" which elliminates the cropping but leaves white bars on the ends of the picture. The reason for this per the Kodak rep is due to photo size. My next step was to go back into Lightroom and set the export size to 1200 X 1800. The result was something close but not exactly that dimension. Which still leaves me with either vertical or horizontal bars on the picture when processed.
If anyone has encountered anything similar or if you have any possible solutions can you please help.May I suggest that you buy a camera that will imprint the date on your
photo and be done with it. There are many point and shoots with good quality
that will do this very thing.
Keep it simple..........

In Iphoto, yes. You can use PhotoShop Elements or some other editor. You can also crop. (You might be able to make the retouch brush smaller.)

Is there any way to add a date stamp to a photo
I have about 50 photo's that for some reason my camera did not put a date stamp on it. Is there a program that I can add a date stamp to the photo?
You'll need an external editor to disfigure the photos that way
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
