This is what you do: 1) The "convert" program from ImageMagick can do all sorts of image transformations, including writing text on top of an image. I don't know the syntax off the top of my head, so you'll have to look that up. A simple convert -h will show you what it can do. You want to look at the -draw primitive. Better yet, look here: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/convert.php For instance convert -fill red -font Bookman-DemiItalic -pointsize 32 -draw "text 30,30 TEST" input.jpg output.jpg 2) Once you're happy with the results, do all jpgs in a for loop: for file in *.jpg do outputname=`basename $file .jpg`_out.jpg convert [drawing command] $file $outputname done You can do this directly at the prompt, or you can save it in a bash script. Command line comes in pretty handy, doesn't it? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
