direct_current Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 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... https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/41666-watermarking-custom-brush/?hl=watermark https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/37971-making-a-watermark-if-you-dont-have-affinity-designer/?hl=watermark 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 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
