Saving & Importing Watermark

[Stevoster]

Hi folks,

 

I'm new to editing and have to first off say WOW! I love Affinity. I'm about halfway through the tutorial videos and loving how the learning is coming together. It was a bit daunting at first but I'm already surprised at the sort of stuff I can do. 

 

This is probably a silly Q about watermarks. I watched the tutorial (excellent!) and made myself a snazzy watermark but what is the best way of saving it down so I can import it into other photos? It is two text layers. Can I just save these layers somehow and import them (possibly after merging)? Also is there a way to 'batch' apply the watermark to, say, a few hundred photos that I take at a sporting event, without opening each one up and doing some work? 

 

Thank you!

Steve.

Hi Stevoster,

 

Welcome to the forums

 

The below thread will help you save your watermark unfortunately at the moment there is no way to batch apply a water mark.

Hello Steve,

I suppose, that the Sportotos are presented in a fixed size?
Around insert a watermark or signature into the picture, can you create a macro.
I did the following.
First haveI created a watermark and saved as an EMF file. (because I get the better results)
Then I opened a photo and brought to the target size.
then I create macro to place the EMF file, in the example below right.
Do not forget to save  the macro.
Now a photo will be opened and by macro recording brought to size
Then insert the watermark macro in the newly created macro.
These are just rough steps I did.
See the attached macro.
Another tip the EMF file must be copied to the root directory of C.
This macro can also be used in batch processing.
So I can insert a watermark in several pictures.
Disadvantage of the macro is it only works in horizontal format.
For the portrait, a new macro must be created.
Since I only use two different image sizes he effort is kept within limits

Cheers
