Digital image post processing: Question on adding data to a photo
#4
RE: Digital image post processing: Question on adding data to a photo
I've got some experience in doing stuff like this. Photoshop has macros, or it's actually fairly easy just to write a Windows program that will do this. It should be trivially simple to add a text box to an existing image. I might be coerced into helping, actually, since it sounds like an important project.

My first question would be-- where is the data coming from? Are you entering it by hand on a per item basis? Is the data already in a spreadsheet or database, and you are just adding the images to match? Are the numbers sequential (in which case you could generate the complete list auomatically in Excel, save it to a file, and use a dropdown menu to just pick which ID goes with which image)? Are the images all the same size and orientation?

With 1200 items, I'd definitely recommend spending some time getting the exact right tool for your process, because that's a lot of elbow grease you're talking about there.
