How do I add a watermark across the bottom of a picture?

I want to put some EXIF data across the
bottom of my photos as a watermark.
I can do this with the "Exifer" software
program, but this covers a small part of the
bottom of the photo.
What I really want is to ADD a white strip
beneath the bottom of the photo and THEN have
"Exifer" (or some other software) print on to
this bottom strip.
I can add the white strip easily with
Photoshop5.5, but then I lose all the EXIF
data, so that "Exifer" has nothing to work
with on the white-strip enhanced photo.
Can all this be done with some other
software, bearing in mind that it has to be
automatic because I have about 50
photos/batch?
Please help

Well only thing I can figure is you aren't talking EXIF data, or you have=
it set to remove EXIF data when you save it.
There's EXIF data and IPTC data.

Thanks, but when I do this all the EXIF data
disappears after the 2nd ("resave it") step.
How can the EXIF data be retained after
saving as a jpeg file in Photoshop? I am a
bit new at this.

You already said how. batch it.
1 expand the image at the bottom to the size
you want for the white bottom border.
2 resave it
3 then call exifer on the images.
