Print metadata on images during export

Hello,
I am using Aperture 3, and I was wonder if there's anyway of exporting a picture, and having metadata printed on it. In the features list on the official page it says it is possible, but I can't find anyway of doing this.
Thank you in advance 🙂

Where is that?

You can write the metadata +to the file+ on export. I know of no way to write +on the images+

You can have metadata printed under an image if you use the Aperture's *File->Print Image* but I don't know of anyway to have metadata place on an image at export.

It was in the Aperture feature list into the Print section but I thought I could also "print it" to a file (like in preview when you print a document to a PDF file), that's why I asked...

So I can only print them? No way of exporting them under the image?
What I'd like to have is something like this image, http://www.flickr.com/photos/jaredpolin/5367181970/ , but I didn't want to go through editing softwares and stuff, I thought there was an automatic way

I guess I will just have to make a screenshot of them and attach them to the image with Photoshop or similar...

Thank you anyway for you help! 🙂

You could use print file and save it as a PDF

In fact, never noticed this, but you can have the PDF turned into a JPEG (or TIFF) and saved in that format rather then as a PDF

You can print any metadata on any side of the image (t, b, r, l) via the Print dialog. These can, of course, be saved as files. You will not be able to color the text white on a black background.

That (and much much more) can be done using BorderFX -- a free and worthy plug-in.

Ah yes Border FX., duh. And I even have it loaded here to test it out. Must have had a senior moment.
