Instructions
1. Select the position where the time/date stamp should appear. The circle radio buttons specify the
9 quadrants of the image. Clicking on a radio button will move the time/date stamp to that area.
2. Specify if you would like the background around the time/date stamp to be slightly dimmer. Click on the "Dim background" button to enable this.
3. Select the color of the border that should surround the time/date stamp. If you do not want a border
around the time/date stamp select the first blank option.
4. Select the appropriate font size to use.
5. Select the time/date stamp format that you would like to use. If you do not find an appropriate
format select the Custom radio button and type in the appropriate format string. You can
use the button to the right of the custom text field to select appropriate date/time strings. Note
that any text not recognized as a time/date placeholder will be printed as text.
