Flyingpiglet Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Hi all, Just wondered if anybody has any idea if there is a quick and easy way to get the timestamp/date off a photo? I don't really want to crop it as i think it will look odd but I really don't want the date on there, I'm supposed to be getting this photo printed to canvas for a Christmas present and have been pulling my hair out all lunch hour trying to disguise it with a text box or something but ARRGGGHHHHH! I've spent 30 minutes on hold to a premium line number (then got cut off) so I don't know if they would be able to do it online or not... And I think I'm about to miss the christmas delivery deadline The lesson has already been learnt, I have removed the date function from my camera now! But too little too late... Any ideas???

camus154 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It wasn't until the very end of your post that I realized by "date" you meant a timestamp, not a person! There is a free photo editing tool called "The Gimp" that you could try to remove the date. Something like a blend or clone brush that lets you use sections of the photo to paint over other sections in an effort to cover it up. Link to comment
Flyingpiglet Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Haha, I did think that when I read the post back, I've just edited slightly but the title remains unfortunately! Thanks for that camus, I will have to try that later.... Daren't spend too much more time while I'm meant to be working Link to comment
camus154 Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Just as a forewarning, "Gimp" is rather hard to use. If you have access to Photoshop or Photoshop Express, that will probably be much easier. Good luck! Link to comment
Flyingpiglet Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 I don't have access to any Photoshop unfortunately. So I guess I'll have to give 'Gimp' a shot. Luckily the date stamp is in the trees so it might not be too hard to cover it... Famous last words! Thanks for the good luck wishes - I'll probably need them lol Link to comment
sidehop Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 It's not too hard to do; if you can't find anyone with Photoshop to do it you're more than welcome to PM me the pic and I'll edit it for you. I do editing and digital photo restoration from time to time. Link to comment
Flyingpiglet Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 Thanks sidehop, if you're sure you don't mind doing that, that would be brilliant. I have to say I do feel a little bit cheeky asking though Is it possible to PM the photo over ENA? I know I've struggled with attaching photo's to PM's it in the past but it could just be me doing something wrong! Link to comment
sidehop Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 Nope not a problem, have done a few for members on here. Link to comment
