In order to use it, modify some parameters in the beginning to suit your needs (images directory, font file and size, etc.) and launch ./timestampFiles.py. Here is a before/after example (size of pictures is reduced to fit in this blog): ...
I was writing the next version of my badge counting the number of days without Belgian government when Laurent added his comment requesting for a vertical version. You can see it on the right.

At a normal gain, the image looks fine: contamination doesn’t come from the 2D But when I increase the gain, the image (and thus our gel) is really contaminated! :-( We really have to look where did the contamination happen! Look at this: ...
