Sharkey Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 In a short time I will have to be able to 'watermark' dozens of images prior to posting to my site for viewing and sale. One site has protection built in and watermarking will be more informative than protective; the other has only a warning about image theft and I have no control over this aspect. Watermarking 20+ images twice for each shoot is a bit of a faff one at a time. How can I set up AP to batch this job? Regards.

Staff MEB Posted July 27, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 27, 2017 Hi Sharkey, You have to record a macro (menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Macro) adding the watermark to one image (are the images the same size?) then save it to the Library (menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Library). You can then apply/choose that macro in the batch job dialog so it's applied to all images. stokerg 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Pretty sure they will all be the same size but mixed landscape and portrait with the same max pixel setting on the shortest side. I will give it a go. Thank you. Bye the bye. The performance problem with Fuji Raf files is still with me and with work in the offing it is a bit of a concern. Any news would be good news.

I need this up and running soon. I can create a watermark by using an invisible background the same size and shape as the image and adding an artistic ©. If I make it fit the shortest side it should fit all images. I cannot however get the macro to record all this and then place the watermark on a pile of images. Is this possible or not? If so how? I am sure it is something that there are a lot of people needing to know. Appreciate a bit of help. Regards.

Oval Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 You already tried it with a (small) pattern that is easier to use within a macro? If you are in hurry now, perhaps GraphicConverter will do the job easier for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
