Hi there!

But I can't create one in PS that works ok for every photo, sometimes it work ok, sometimes id don't.

Is there a program that does this nicely?

I suspect it can be used in conjuction with an action, if all the photos are the same size and the watermark is to be placed at the same location on all of them. I once created a script which calculated the size of the brush based on the size of the photo and what not. However, I quickly gave up on that because the placement and the color of the watermark (Black for some photos, white for others, etc.) had to be different for each photo, and ended up doing it manually.

Instead of creating a brush (which you have to choose the placement for each image) why not follow this tutorial on creating transparent text and create your own action for it?

Watermarking was an effort, with portrait & landscape crops, different sizes, etc and opted to buy a program called Watermarker.
I made a psd file for the PROOF part, loaded it, and it works so smooth and easy. I can place the watermark in any of about 9 locations, adjust the opacity, saving level of compression, etc. I open the program, file the files I want to mark, adjust the opacity if needed, click save and protect all, and away it goes and places the finished files in a folder I made on the desktop called Proofed. Easy to go upload from that folder.



Online purchase, email sends an activation key generator that writes to the registry.
$30.00 well spent.

hi, i have a question, i dont know if im supposed to post my own question here, but i couldnt find a link to start a different thingie
umm so is there a specific rule on watermarking your photos?
like if i take a picture of something thats my idea, then i can watermark it
but when taking pictures of myself or taking pictures of my and my friends, i dont have a tripod, so i would need someone else to take the picture, but if its my idea, can i still watermark it as my photo?
i mean if my friend isnt some professional photographer, just some random person who is taking the picture for me
yeah i dont know if any of this made sense, but yeah hah

If you are asking about competition entries, DPC rules state no added text, so do not watermark anything you plan on entering here.
