Simple water mark, how to make and apply

Danfoss2011 · 30 Apr 2011 at 21:52

I took a load of photos for a friend that was running a kettle bell bootcamp. I've finished editing them and have rezied once batch so they can be upload to his website better etc etc. However he has asked can i water mark.

Not done this before. It's only a simple one of ''Photos By xx''. Is there an easy way to go about making one and adding it all the photos?

For the batch resizing i have used fotosizer

You can do it with one of the tools in the ImageMagick http://www.imagemagick.org/script/index.php suite of command line editing tools.

I use a command which goes along the following lines:

composite -dissolve 50 -mavity southeast -geometry +10+10 MYWATERMARK.GIF IMAGEFILE.JPG OUTPUT_FILE.JPG

substituting in your filenames as appropriate.

I found a program Frame Fun, does batch runs very fast. Adds a watermark ether txt or image with a good few options for location to mount it and a border

you can do it with faststone photo resizer also, in the advanced options.

I'll have a look to see if it's any better for me. Using 2 programs currently, fotosizer to resize then frame fun for border and watermark.

I really need to get a proper watermark made
