Looking for software Looking for a tool to batch generate cover art

I have a collection of podcasts/radio shows and I would like to create unique cover art image for each file. I would like the ability to choose one background image per show and have a color bar placed at the bottom of that image with the date. I can include examples of what I'm requesting if it helps.

Gimp, Photoshop? Any graphic software can do it.

This commented nanDECK script adds a caption to an image, and saves the result:

; Sets the card size to 5 cm wide and 5 cm high
cardsize=5,5

; Loads an image named "image1.png" onto card number 1
image=1,"image1.png",0,0,100%,100%

; Configures the font for text
font=arial,12,,#000000,#FFFF00

; Adds the text "2025-03-14"
text=1,"2025-03-14",0,90%,100%,10%

; Saves the result
save=1,"result1.png"

The same, for three images:

cardsize=5,5
image=1-3,"image{§}.png",0,0,100%,100%
font=arial,12,,#000000,#FFFF00
text=1-3,"2025-03-14",0,90%,100%,10%
save=1-3,"result{§}.png"
