How to add a copyright to a photo in Aperture?

I just downloaded the trial version of Aperture 2, to get a feel for it. I do a lot of photography, and need a simple way to add a copyright mark on the photo itself, i.e., my name, the year, and the copyright symbol.
Under metadata, I typed in "©2008 My name here" in the "Copyright notice" box. However, it did not appear on the photo. How exactly do I do this? I have several photos I need to print and send off in a couple of days, so a quick response would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Hi
I was wondering the same thing myself after buying aperture. I still haven't figured out a way to do it... I think adding a copyright just attaches it electronically in the metadata. I know Adobe Light room 2 has a text adding feature. Try downloading that trial. And if anyone knows a good way to do it in aperture 2 please let us know!

HELP, how to add more folders in my photos

how do I add more folders in my photos? because I only have two. one is the camera roll and the other is the one that came from the computer. I want to add more folder but I can't find that feature in the itunes when I connect my iphone. Pls help

I believe you simply create a new folder inside the folder that you have set for iTunes to sync from. I haven't synced from my PC since last summer so I could be wrong.

How to add your own videos or photos?

I want to know how to add Photos and Videos from my PC to my iPod...

Well, there are a few ways. I'll tell ya two. First is iCloud. If you don't already, you can create an Apple ID and set up iCloud. To set up iCloud on PC, visit this site. Everything should sync after that.
You can also use iTunes to sync up everything. First, put the photos that you wanna put on your iPod on to iPhoto. Put the videos you wanna put on iTunes. Like, drag the video into the "Videos" tab on iTunes. Then, go to the the iPod in "Devices" connected to iTunes. Once you select the phots and videos, press Apply/Sync.
You're done.

How to add a 2nd Library to photo?

In iphoto I used to have two libraries and used to select which one I wanted to look at at startup of the app.
1) Does photo have the ability to have multiple libraries
2) How do i import my 2nd iPhoto library once the initial setup is done into a 2nd photo library?
3) If I try to import a 2nd library and ADD it to the first then will it give me the option to skip duplicates
Thanks!

1 Yes
2 This was answered in another thread: click on Photos while holding alt key, a dialogue box with a choice of libraries to convert will appear.
You can test this by creating a new iPhoto library and converting it.

How to add IPTC data to multiple photos w/o overwriting other data?

I need to see if there's a way to add IPTC data to one or more fields to mulitple photos without disturbing the other fields' data that's already there. For example, I've keyworded & captioned my images, but now would like to add the City or the Country to all the shots, or a group of shots.
Conventional Lift & Stamp will override the keyword & caption field info on the stamped images, which I don't want. How to I lift & stamp other select fields? I sure don't want to have to type in the city or country on hundreds/thousands of images!

Thanks for the reply.
In the Lift & Stamp HUD, under the IPTC heading,
there's no way to de-select the sub-categories of
Caption & Kepyword, leaving just State (or other
fields which don't seem to be even present). One can
de-select the major categories of Keywords, Caption,
IPTC, etc. but not the subcategories. This is the
problem I'm running into -- no way to just add
additional data in select fields.
Unless I'm missing something.
Indeed! Aperture does not make this at all obvious, but with any line highlighted in the Lift & Stamp HUD just hit the "delete" key and that line is gone. If you delete a category (line with a checkbox) the whole category goes, if you expand a category you can delete individual lines, whatever you like. Also very handy for adjustment stamping when you don't want to stamp a clone job, just white balance.
It remembers what you have removed until you do another Lift.

How to add a slider to a photo gallery?

I have dozens of photos in a gallery. Scrolling lets you move along the line of photos but you cannot now use scrolling to independently move around the page. Can I add a slider to the gallery thumbnails to move through them quickly while retaining the scrolling feature for use on the entire page. As it stands now a person viewing my page on a laptop cannot see all of the info and cannot move around the page. Help!

To be specific about what I am trying to do is as follows:
I have a Muse slideshow (photo gallery( with the large picture window
and a LONG row of thumbnails that will go off the page (either
vertically or horizontally).
Right now I have the large picture window (and text around it)
locked/pinned in position while a long vertical column of thumbnails
scroll so you can select what picture you want to click to see in the
large window.
For someone viewing on a laptop, for instance, part of the large window
and locked text around are off screen and as the large screen and
related text are locked the person viewing cannot scroll around to bring
them into view.
I think what I need is to unlock the large screen (and related text) but
have some separate way to move the long row/column of thumbnails so
folks can click/select the picture they want to view on the large screen

How to add a caption under a photo?

I have previously struggled to paste a caption under a JPEG photo for my web site by increasing the canvas size by an inch or two, entering the text in the space below, and then cropping off the additional space above the photo. Now I have 6 captions to add to photos for an article but when I try to paste the captions into the space under the photo it always pastes it in the center on top of the photo instead and I canot move it down to the bottom space at all. There must be a way to more easily add captions under photos.

Do you have PSE7? In guided edit there's an action for adding canvas beneath a photo, in the Action Player.

How to add a watermark in new Photos app

Is there an easy way to add a watermark in the new Photos app?

In iPhoto you could install the plug-in Border-FX. That will let you batch export watermarked photos from iPhoto with several styles of watermarks, annotations, and borders.
If you still have iPhoto, consider to install his plug-in and use iPhoto for water marking. BorderFX - iBorderFX iPhoto

How to add a copyright watermark

I have tried using the Alt + 0169 also tried Alt G. neither method works, the symbol does not appear.

You need to use the alpha-numeric keys on the right side of a standard desktop keyboard
You can also access the symbol via the character map found under accessories on a Windows machine. Then, copy/paste
A really neat way is from within Elements. Access the Custom Shape Tool, go to the Symbols library, and the copyright symbol is right there.

How to add same text to several photos?

I am using PSE5 and want to share them on the web with the text "copyright". Is there a "batch"-function to do this?

Margriet,
I have an older version of PSE so I don't know if version 5 has a way to do this in batch. However in all versions you can create the text (using the Type tool) on one picture and copy its layer to another. Here are 2 ways to do this:
1. Have both pics open and drag the text layer in the Layers palette to the 2nd pic.
2. Ctrl-click the text layer in the Layers Palette to select just the text, and copy/paste this onto the 2nd pic. Since the text is still in the clipboard you can then paste it into the remaining pics.

How to add more than 1 External Editor to Aperture 3?

I am evaluating Aperture 3...I have LR, CS4 as well as some of the editors from Nik Software e.g. Viveza, DFine...How can I add more than one of these as external editors without going into Preferences and changing Export every single time when I want to edit a photo with one of these?
Thnx

you always use ps for the external editor. To use the plug ins, you simply pick edit with plugin when you right click on a file to edit.

Mail message to automatically add a keyword to a photo in aperture library?

This is going to be a really specific and odd request.
I am a photographer; and I am trying to set up a system using automator, aperture, and mail to be able to create a webpage that has a listing of a bunch of images with a basically a form that you can use to select picks that will then email the form results to me. I have the basic webpage output set up through automator and aperture, but the problem I am having is getting mail to lift the message contents, pass that on to filter the aperture files and add a keyword to the image.
Basically, I want to have a rule set up that when a new messages comes in where the subject is imagepicks, it grabs the message content which is say 034365PDP080309, takes that and looks through the aperture library for image 034365PDP080309 and adds a keyword to it...
Am I way outside of the scope of automator?

Hello,
I don't get what you mean by "a folder in the Finder"! A folder - unless hidden - is always browsable in the Finder.
Then, what do you expect to be in those folders? A Word file, a RTF file, a simple text file?
If you want to filter your mails, you can use "Rules" that you can access from Mail's preferences. This is far the best methods.
There are other methods, but they require Unix programming skills and the setup of you own mail server locally on our Mac.
Hoping this helps,
Thierry
