Copyright shortcut

[direct_current]

Hey everyone,

 

I underscore that I'm still very new at this. I've recently realized that it's probably a wise idea to start putting a copyright marking on my photos. I understand how to do it thanks to a video I just watched. However, since this is something that I'm going to apply to every photo I plan on sharing publicly I was wondering if there was a way of doing it in a couple of clicks each time. I understand there's something called macros and I tried recording one but it says they don't work for the Art Text tool. It seems like it would be tedious to go through all the steps for each photo.

 

Is there a shortcut that you could recommend?

 

Many thanks,

 

Darryl

What you are trying to achieve is called watermarking rather than copyright marking

 

Search the forum for "watermark" or "watermarking" for some more ideas on how to do what you want

 

Here are a couple of threads...

Once you decide on a method to create your watermark you can look at creating a macro to (for example) place the final watermark onto a new layer on top your image but bear in mind the macro facility in AP is still in its infancy so many things don't work as expected at the moment. (like positioning stuff)

 

If you are looking to batch process lots of images, with your watermark, in one go then something like FastStone Photo Resizer is, in my opinion, better suited to the task

Ok, thanks very much.
