My wife ran the Huntington Beach Half Marathon last week, and the Photo just arrived today. Previously, there was a "Digial Clock" overlay with her finishing time. Not so with this order.

So, she wants me to scan the photo, put her time it, and print it for her.

Now, I have dozens of "digial" or "LCD" fonts, but the problem is the "clock format". Does anyone know of a free (as this is one time use) action or overlay that would allow me to put her time in.

This is what one looked like from last year's run.

Simply set an alarm time in your digital kitchen timer and photograph that!

That particular example looks like it would be pretty easy to re-create in photoshop or illustrator as long as you only need to do it with one time, I wouldn't try that method for a whole set with different times on each photo though

I have illustrator open.

Thanks!

Her time was 04:28:36 (forgot it was a full, not a half)

If you could make one 600 pixels long and then just post it here that would be great!

Again, thanks,

Rad

PS - My wife just called, and I let her know that "somebody in the computer" was able to perfectly recreate the clock (just like the other photo), with your time on it.

Her reply was "Very cool!"

So, in her way, she says "thanks" too.

I just realized the background is not true black. CMYK to RGB conversion killed me.

Your welcome though, stuff like this takes me 5 mins...
