MikeMcE Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) 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! 1 hour ago, MikeMcE said: well it really wasn't that bad here's a sample over one of my flowers. Not bad at all, although I have to wonder why the copyright symbol © is superscripted like that in the ITC Bradley Hand font. 1 hour ago, MikeMcE said: I've switched over to Flicker from Photobucket. <pedantry> Flickr, not Flicker </pedantry> Nice Strelitzia, by the way.

MikeMcE Posted April 11 Author Share Posted April 11 I suspect the © was streched when I was sizing letters. Part of the critical eye needed for perfection. I changed to Flickr! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Archangel Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 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. MikeMcE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcE Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Maybe someone should write a macro for Affinity Photo which does something similar. 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.

Ash Eldritch Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 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? 🤔 MikeMcE and Alfred 1 1 Quote Using M2 Mac mini with 16GB RAM.

GarryP Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 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. 2024-04-13 08-39-56.mp4 Alfred, markw, MikeMcE and 2 others 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeMcE Posted April 13 Author Share Posted April 13 Thank You GaryP! that’s exactly how I did this. As a newbie here, I didn’t know if posting a video or link was proper here. this also shows how to batch them also. GarryP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 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.
