Add signature to photos

Hi,
How add signature to photos in Aperture ?
I had a picture file to make a watermark. But my background is white.
Do possible to create a watermark with Text not picture ?
Thanks

The signature you are talking about is called (in English, in the User Manual) a "watermark". Search the User Manual and this forum for instructions on making and using them.
Your need is for a watermark file with a transparent layer. JPG does not allow transparency, so you'll have to convert your picture file to PNG. The easiest way to do this is to open it in the OS X program Preview and:
Show the Toolbar ("View➞Show Edit Toolbar")
Select the Instant Alpha tool (click the "magic wand" icon on the Toolbar)
Click and drag a short distance in the white background
Press and release the "delete" key
Say "Yes" to "Convert to PNG"
Save your file.
Then use this file for your watermark in Aperture.
The superb plug-in BorderFX does this automatically, and much more. Recommended. It's free, but it you use it, consider sending the developer some beer money.

How do you add signature block to images

I am switching from a PC platform to Mac and from Adobe to Aperture 3. In Adobe is it easy to add a Signature to a image file for (c) however I cannot seem to find the magic in Aperture to do this. I have found that a lot of things are so simple on the Mac platform that I may be missing something simple. Thanks

Vern, I'm guessing your desire to add a signature to a photo is actually a watermark? If so that is definately possibly. Unfortunately this is not as easy as it could be and I'm hopeful that Apple gets this feature updated at some point. Sooner rather than later would be nice. However, you can find out how you can accomplish this by going to the help tab in Aperture and type in Watermark. The toughest part of making this happen is that you have to have access to Photoshop or possible other programs that you can create a PNG file in. The PNG file is a graphic file that you make to add to each photo on export. This graphic file can be text or something graphic like a logo. The one I use is text based and looks like this: © 2011 Daniel J. Cox/NaturalExposures.com. This text was created in Photoshop and saved as a PNG file with a transparent background. All of this sounds fairly complicated which it is but it can be done. If you don't have Photoshop maybe someone else can offer advise on how to create a PNG without Photoshop. Once you get a PNG created then there is an option in the export window that lets you add the watermark. The tough p[art is getting the PNG.
I moved to Aperture from Lightroom myself and I've been mostly happy but creating watermarks in Aperture is not nearly as easy as it is in Lightroom. Hope this helps. You can see samples of the watermark on images in an Aperture web page at http://www.naturalexposures.com/private/gallery/resplendentquetzal/large-4.html

Is it possible to add high resolution photos to an ipad2 without synchronising it?

Hi,
I'm looking in to offering potential clients an ipad with all their wedding photos pre loaded, but is it possible to add photos without synchronising each ipad to my mac? When I first got my ipad2, I couldn't use it for anything until I had connnected and registered it with Apple........I have got the camera connection kit, but haven't found a workaround for adding photos without synchronising yet?
I haven't been able to find much info on the subject so far? There must be a workaround?
Cheers,

The first thing that currently needs to be done with a new iPad is to activate it by connecting it to a computer that is running iTunes - it can't currently be used 'properly' until after that is done. After iOS 5 is released and is pre-installed on iPads then I think that should change and you will no longer need to first connect to a computer.
The camera connection kit can be used to add high-resolution photos to the iPad, unlike syncing via iTunes where the photos get 'optimised' by the transfer process. If adding the photos to the SD card yourself then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them
Otherwise there are third-party apps such as Simple Transfer which can copy photos to/from the iPad from your computer via your wifi network. But photos transferred this way will only go into the Saved Photos/Camera Roll album in the Photos app, not into a 'proper' album - and until iOS 5 is released and installed you won't be able to move the photos between albums on the iPad : from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
Even organize your photos in albums - right on your device
Also a problem with syncing photos to the iPad via iTunes is that they then need to be on the other person's computer when they then connect to it - otherwise the photos are likely to be removed from the device. Photos copied via the connection kit or copied via third-party apps shouldn't have that problem.

I am using Windows XP on my laptop. Had to format the C drive. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps.

I had to format the C drive recently. I have reinstalled iTunes but I am unable to add anything other than music, TV shows and movies to the iTunes library. It is not showing any option to add podcasts, books, photos or apps. These things are available on my iPhone but are no longer there in the iTunes library. Please help.

In iTunes go to general preferences and check the boxes for those you wish to see in the library.

How do you add captions to photos in iDVD slideshows?

Is there a way to add captions to photos once you've put them into slideshows on iDVD? Or, if not, is there another way to add captions to them, though another apple application such as iPhoto? I haven't been able to figure out how to make captions for photos in iPhoto slideshows either. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. if you're creating the slideshow from stills in iDVD use the Settings button at the bottom to bright up the pane where you can add titles and comments. The downside of that is every photo will automatically have it's file name or title entered. If you don't want that then while you're in iPhoto use the Photos->Batch Change->Title->None option before you import into iDVD. Then none of them will have the titles entered and you can add them to just those that you want. Or you can add them while in iPhoto before importing.

How can i add text to photo in iphoto?

How can I add text to photo in iphoto without having lion or mtn lion?

You can't add text to a Photo in iPhoto. You need an external editor for that:
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

IPhoto allowed me to add location to photos taken by camera with no GPS. Photos doesn't have this facility. is there any way to do this?

From http://geotag.modesittsoftware.com/Photo_GeoTag/FAQs.html
1. Does Photo GeoTag work with iPhoto and Photos?
iPhoto and Photos store their image files in various undocumented locations, and they seem to store the image metadata in separate locations. If you edit an image in one of their sub-folders, iPhoto or Photos may not know about the change. Instead export the image from iPhoto or Photos, geotag it, and then import it back into iPhoto or Photos to see the geotagged location. In the future Apple may provide a means of accessing the image files directly, but for now you must geotag the photo before importing it, or if the photo is already in iPhoto or Photos, export, geotag, and then import.
So it would seem that it isn't much better than using iPhoto 9.6.1 to do the geotagging, exporting the original from that app, & importing it into Photos.
