Watermark - always at the same position

[Hahn_2607]

Hello, I am a new user of Affinity Photo 2 and use the software for pre-treatment of underwater pics.

After that I would like to add my logo (picture in png format), but this logo should show up always atz the same position.

As I have many photos I use the batch job and programmed a makro but after the trtansformation, the logo is always at different positions, resulting of the different sizes of the pics .(I remove parts of the pics during my pre-processing steps).

Can anybody tell me what steps are necessary to have this logo always at the same position using the batch job?

 

Thanks and Regards

Hi @Hahn_2607 and welcome to the forums,

Are your photos all the same orientation, i.e., all landscape, all portrait or a mixture of the two?

I assume from your description that the processing you're doing in Photo with your Macro means you can end up with photos of differing pixel dimensions, is that the case or do all your processed photos share the same dimensions and resolution?

Let's assume you always want it at the bottom right of your image

In the macro do...

Arrange > Align Bottom
Arrange > Align Right
If you want some padding on the logo, nudge it up & left the required distances

 Or build the required padding into the logo

Yes, the pics have all different sizes and sometimes fifferent orientation...

OK, where can I adjust the "Arrage > Align Bottom" and "Arrange > Align Right" functions... I do not see them yet...

They are in the top-level "Arrange" menu

Hi guys,

I had the same issue and it's working fine, but when I have a cropped image, so an other resolution, the watermark isn't the same size, which is a little bit annoying if you want to post multiple images on social media at ones and all have different sizes of the watermark. Is there a solution to make that work as well? I think in Lightroom it is working, but I am not sure since I did not work with Lightroom for some years now.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Regards

If I understand correctly, the watermark is still the same pixel size, but because the image is smaller/cropped, the watermark looks bigger? You need to resize it so that it is relatively the same size as the smaller image. Alternatively, you have to resample the image to the same pixel size after cropping - then the watermark will still be the same size.

Thank you so much, it's working as I want it.
