Hey, just wondering, is it possible to get my D90 to print a timestamp on pictures (or to get Photoshop to pull the time out of the EXIF to make a timestamp)? I've got a project where having the time displayed would be really useful.

Just use Photoshop to find the times in image information then manually timestamp them, making it semi transparent, only takes a jiffy:

So... uh... how do you do that? :(

open photoshop>file>new, choose size but transparent background, write your text and save as a .png, then re-open it and use styles or gradient maps for effect as required, then size it and drag it onto the original image, then change the opacity of that layer as required and save as, job done, 2 mins ;)

Use the same technique to copyright your images if required :)
