Text Caption  

There are many reasons why text captions are being used. Some may use it to add short description to the images, while others to add date/time stamp or to add copyright tags to it. This can now work with almost any character set through the unicode support.

[Date]

- This will add the short date using the locale setting your computer uses.

[DateTime]

- This will add the short date and time using the locale setting.

[FileName]

- This will add the full filename without the file paths.

[FileNameNoExt]

- This will add the full filename without the file extension.

[RunningNumber]

- This will add a running number as text caption. **

Start Number

The Start Number will define the first number to be use for each run.

Number of Digits

If this is set to 1 then you will not have any leading zeros. By default, it is set to 4 so all file names will have leading zeros in front of it to make it a minimum length of 4. This only applies to the running numbers and does not take into account the length of the prefix or suffix or file extension.

Font Name

This option lists all the fonts being installed on your computer. Since the text would be drawn to the image instead of being embedded, you may use any fonts even if it is not available on your viewer's computer.

Font Size  

Text Captions are added after the images are resized to ensure the highest image quality when rending fonts. As such you have to take into account the final image size to determine which font size to use.

Font Style  

This include the usual options of Regular, Bold, Italic and Bold Italic.

Font Color  

Use this to define the color of the text caption.

Trim Spacing From Text

All spacing before and after the text options are not trimmed to allow you to make minor adjustment to the spacing. By selecting this option, all blanks before and after the text would be trim.

Note : If the Characters are not Romanized, the Align Right option may cause part of the text to truncate. Use Align Center options if Unicodes are being used.

Text X Axis Offset

This option will add the offset in pixels to the X Axis (Width of the Image). This option accepts both positive and negative whole numbers.

Text Y Axis Offset

This option will add the offset in pixels to the Y Axis (Height of the Image). This option accepts both positive and negative whole numbers.

If the X or Y Axis (set by the program) PLUS the Offset is outside of the dimension of the image, the offset would be ignored.

Caption in Border  

By default, text captions are added to the image. If you select to include text caption in border, a white border is created where the text caption would be added.

Drop Shadow Text  

By checking the Drop Shadow Text, the text caption are added with a drop shadow as above. Without it, the images would be shown as flat.
