  Quick write statistics to image (Message 1 to 4 of 4)

Is there some software I can use to quickly write text on an image using 
a template so that the font, line spacing, line position etc., are 
always the same? I could do this using HTML and screen captures, but I 
want something even easier than that.

I want to write statistics to the image, such as file name, render time 
and other notes I want to keep track of. This is meant as an alternative 
to using the comments section of image properties. Thanks.

Me think about imagemagick tools (command line, unix).
A port of it might exist for windows. Now mastering imagemagick is
something totally different, so better find a tutorial on the web about
what you want to do.

Imagemagick is what first comes to my mind, too. Windows binaries can be 
found here:

http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows

As for the described use case, this page might be a good place to start:

I am familiar with ImageMagick, but I wouldn't consider it quick and easy.
