Affinity Photo Watermarks


MikeMcE

Recommended Posts

Always used a simple homade brush for watermarking. Well thats a waste of time, but did work for me. 

I watched a simple tutorial on other methods, and discovered what I needed was the Pattern tool. Fought with layers and when I rasterized. 

well it really wasn't that bad here's a sample over one of my flowers.

I've switched over to Flickr from Photobucket.

Hardly a waste of time if it did what you needed it to do! ;)

Not bad at all, although I have to wonder why the copyright symbol © is superscripted like that in the ITC Bradley Hand font.

Nice Strelitzia, by the way.

If you have the G'MIC extension plugin for Affinity Photo there is an automatic watermark script you can utilize which is included in the tool set. @MikeMcE

Not many font choices though. Maybe someone should write a macro for Affinity Photo which does something similar.

An example of mine is included.

Odd you mentioned that. The You Tube video by Olivio did just that in the second half of his video. 

If I had the G'MIC extension, I wouldn't have learned how easy it is to make.

Perhaps I'm missing the point here but a brush/pattern tool implies having to spend time adding those watermarks. Even if it's a short amount of time wouldn't it be more productive to create a watermarked file that could be imported and overlayed, on any piece of work, in seconds? 🤔

There’s no need to ‘faff around’ with brushes and/or macros to get a simple re-usable watermark.

You can create one quickly with a Rectangle, some Artistic Text, Photo’s Pattern Layer functionality and Assets.

See attached video for a quick run-through.

Note: I feel sure that this isn’t the first time this technique has been posted but no-one else in this thread has posted any links to the tutorials they mentioned/used, or given a run-down of what they did, which makes it difficult for anyone reading this thread to know what the possibilities are.

Posting links, videos, images and documents (etc.) is normally fine as long as the material is relevant to the thread and complies with the forum rules and guidelines.

If a member of staff thinks that there’s a problem with what you have posted then they might remove it, and tell you why they have done so, but that’s quite rare.
