I want to put some EXIF data across the
bottom of my photos as a watermark.

I can do this with the "Exifer" software
program, but this covers a small part of the
bottom of the photo.

What I really want is to ADD a white strip
beneath the bottom of the photo and THEN have
"Exifer" (or some other software) print on to
this bottom strip.

I can add the white strip easily with
Photoshop5.5, but then I lose all the EXIF
data, so that "Exifer" has nothing to work
with on the white-strip enhanced photo.

Can all this be done with some other
software, bearing in mind that it has to be
automatic because I have about 50
photos/batch?

Please help

Thanks, but when I do this all the EXIF data
disappears after the 2nd ("resave it") step.

How can the EXIF data be retained after
saving as a jpeg file in Photoshop? I am a
bit new at this.

Well only thing I can figure is you aren’t talking EXIF data, or you have it set to remove EXIF data when you save it.
There’s EXIF data and IPTC data.
