Back in the film days, many point-and-shoot cameras had an extremely useful feature most modern digital compacts are regrettably lacking. The feature was called Quartz or Time-Stamping depending on the manufacturer. The idea was simple and clear: time-stamp every frame with the exact date the photo was taken. While many argued that the pictures were spoiled that way, I always wished that my twenty-something year old photographs could tell me when they were taken. Alas, that was not the case twenty-something years ago. It’s not the case today, either.

Needless to say, you keep the non-stamped originals. We like time-stamps, but why stick with the same font and color if it is possible to change it with a couple of clicks? Besides, your mom and dad would be happy to accept a picture of your family signed for them with a special note, not just stamped with the date. Of course, you can easily do this over and over again, with different stamps, shapes and colors by simply using TimeToPhoto.
