Description I created this tutorial so that people won't get their images declined for using the stupid DA watermark, or big obtrusive watermarks...

Eeek... yeah, sorry... don't know much about elements, especially on a Mac
Though lately I've contemplated the idea of getting a Mac because of all the photography I do and just being able to edit faster and easier on a Mac

Creative--Dragon In reply to ss-switters [2011-02-11 21:18:23 +0000 UTC]

hahahaha... now that's funny
It's actually a bit of a pain... I write the tutorial in MS Word, export to PDF, then from Adobe Acrobat Pro, I export to JPEG with a set pixel density of 150px/in (so all images are the same size )
Then I create a new blank image in photoshop that is the width of one image, and the length of all images combined
tada... that's it

Are you aware of a way to apply watermarks like this in a batch fashion? Also, how would you do this in a "free" photoshop alternative like GIMP?

Creative--Dragon In reply to PhoenixHawke [2011-01-31 20:36:30 +0000 UTC]

Batch... no unfortunately... I'm sure there might be a way... but I prefer do it by hand anyway... not all images are the same... so I like to place my signature where it fits best... I save it as a .png and just open it and add it to my images when I need it

I've never used gimp, but i'm sure the process is similar... If you'd like I can download it and do up a tutorial specific to it... Let me know

If you wouldn't mind I would appreciate it. But I don't want to impose on you if you have better things to do

Good idea for a tutorial Stephen.
I just a plain old boring watermark, but I make sure it's not obtrusive!

I don't think anyone can stand the DA watermark. Β This tutorial really helped me as I've been looking to use a new watermark. Β My only problem is that I use Adobe Lightroom 5, and I can only figure out how to make simple text only watermarks. Β
