The simplest way I found to watermark my timelapse images is with montage
.
Iām using this in my raspberry-pi-timelapse:
DATE=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ")
PATH_TO_IMAGE=example.jpg
montage \
-label "$DATE" \
$PATH_TO_IMAGE \
-pointsize 30 \
-gravity Center \
-geometry +0+0 \
$PATH_TO_IMAGE
This will add a simple watermark (with white background) at the bottom of the image, like this:
