OK, a preliminary Google, and searches of iPhoto Help, Apple's Knowledge Base, these forums, Versiontracker, Mac Update and Photoshop Help turned up nothing. Actually, everything that came up was about adding watermarks, but not removing them.

Basically, I'm a doofus. Just went to a big event this weekend and took lots of digital pix. I inadvertently set the camera to place the date on each image. And before I share them with folks from the event, I'd like to remove them without having to resort to Photoshopping each individual one (ay yi yi).

There must be some way on the software side for removing this information. It doesn't even have to be batch processing enabled, I don't mind doing it one at a time. I just don't want to have to use the Blur tool in PhotoShop for every single picture.

Thanks

Use Crop. Otherwise, there's no way... well, you could use the Rubber Stamp.

Rubber Stamp or Healing Brush, or combination of both.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

If it's in the actual image, there is no automated way of doing it...

P.S. What camera do you have?

Since your photo is a bitmap image (raster), with no layers you are SOL when it comes to easily getting that date off of each image. Like others have said, you are stuck with doing the clone/heal tool or cropping. I'm assuming the date is in one of the corners? If so, I'd go with cropping.
