Hi Tim!

The GIMP can do this using batch processing.  Setting it up would be
non-trivial but once it was going it would be very easy to use.  Also,
you could do something more like "water marking" as for how the text
could look and it could thereby take up a lot of the picture but still
be useful.

Good Hunting!
