Re: Watermarking pictures with photoshop
If you just want to add text like "tubesnout 2010", you can type the text that you want (a hollow font works best IMO), go to edit/transform/rotate (or skew, scale, etc.) to get it to the position that you want, and then in the layer box adjust the opacity to the level that you think works best. You can make it look fancy by going to filter/stylize/emboss.
If you want to add digital watermarks you can sign up for a service called digimarc (http://www.digimarc.com)

...and if you save that document, you can use it over and over by importing original pics, positioning the watermark layer on top, and then exporting the new watermarked jpg. this will save you the trouble of recreating the watermark for each image.

FastStone Image Viewer (freeware) will batch watermark photos for you. Quite easy to do.
Great little program. It will also batch convert (resize), rename, etc.
It has some image correction capabilities, but, they are limited.

Re: Watermarking pictures with photoshop
Thank you very much!
I am not that good with Photoshop (I know only the basics) so I will have to mess with it for a while before I get it right.
cheers

Re: Watermarking pictures with photoshop
I have tried to follow your instructions but I think my knowledge of Photoshop is too basic! I could not find the way to adjust the opacity and the text seems to be stuck and I cannot move it! Is there a book titled Photoshop for Dummies by chance?Penopolypants wrote:If you just want to add text like "tubesnout 2010", you can type the text that you want (a hollow font works best IMO), go to edit/transform/rotate (or skew, scale, etc.) to get it to the position that you want, and then in the layer box adjust the opacity to the level that you think works best.

I'll try to use Fast Stone Image and see if I can figure out how to do it...

Re: Watermarking pictures with photoshop
There is a photoshop for dummies! For whichever version you have.

If you can't get faststone to work I'm more than happy to put together a detailed photoshop tutorial tomorrow. But if you got text on there at all you're doing great!
