Adding Watermarks in PS CS5

Hello fellow PS users.
Would someone be kind enough to tell me how to add a watermark to images in PS CS5. I have read the books I purchased but cannot find the answer to this question.
Many Thanks.

The problem with most watermark tutorials is that the watermark is a fixed size, this is not good as you need to create different actions for different sized documents. The new watermarking panel for CS5 allow you to resize the watermark to a percentage, again it is not relative to the document you are applying it to.
What you can do is create your logo/watermark at a LARGE size, big enough to be used on the largest document. This could be a tif, psd or png if transparency is required.
To apply the watermark download and install my "Picture Processor" script (The second download)
http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=3409&sid=e3e4fcadcd2e9a38e2a7771b5b0661c 7
This will allow you to size the logo to a relative size to the document, so once set up you can apply to any sized document.
The script supports text, metadata or the document filename as the watermark if required, also the script will you more advanced options than "Image Processor".
And the best bit it's FREE.

Acrobat Pro 9.3 crash when adding watermark

Hi All, my acrobat crash when I add watermark. I am running Window 7 and have check the compatibility box thinking this will resolve the issue.
Any solution to this issue?

Acrobat Pro 9.4.2 (CS5) is doing the same thing on my Windows XP SP3 with 3.5 GB of ram and 206 GB of my brand new 300 GB hard drive free.
It starting doing this at the end of last year before my hard drive died. Then after rebuilding the entire system on this new drive it worked fine, until I downloaded all the updates and now it is broken again. Anytime I open more than one PDF, Acrobat crashes. I send the error report every time.

Adding watermark to flash SWF movie

Please can someone advise how I may add a watermark to my
Flash movie.
I have created a watermark that will cover the whole video
view but it will not be so dark that it can not be viewed, i have
it in black and white and set the background of the image to
transparent, using mircosoft photo editor. then saved this as a PNG
file.
i have added it to a new layer, but can not seem to view
both, its just one of the other. how do i add a watermark?
thanks

there is no "watermark" feature - it doesnt exist - you can
easily make one as described in other
replies - if you are having trouble with colors and contrast,
generally it is goo dpractice to make
the watermark 50% alpha or provide a drop shadow to help its
visibility.

Automate batch errors when adding watermark (CS6)

Could not complete your request because of a program error. (-1)
Could not complete the command because the selected area is empty. (-25570)
Here's a screenshot of the action that I'm using: http://i.imgur.com/GkwSdP5.jpg

Aperture 3.1: Adding watermark by uploading pictures to Mobile Me gallery.

Hi,
In the "Image Export" presets there is an option to ad a watermarkt on the picture.
Is there any way to add a watermark when uploading pictures to the Mobile Me Gallery, using the Mobile me button??
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jos

Apple did seem to drop the ball on this one. There is no way from within Aperture to add a watermark to an image set to Facebook, Flickr or MobileMe. This is a highly requested feature so add add your voice to the crowd requesting this by going to [Apple Aperture Feedback|http://www.apple.com/feedback/aperture.html]

Losing metadata when adding watermark

I have a .jpg file that was created in Photoshop. If I import it into Acrobat and save it out, the metadata stays. If I add a watermark to this file, it erases the metadata. Any ideas on why? I am using Acrobat XI Pro on a Macbook Pro running Yosemite.

Hi Michael ,
It would be great if you could share the file on [email protected] so that we check at our end how and what exactly is happening.

Merging roads with added text in illustrator CS5

Please help,
I need a way to merge roads with text added in illustrator. I've tried compound paths but it won't allow text to be added.
I've attached an .ai file
Kind Regards
JS Baxter

Doug,
With Butt Caps, the strokes of the branch roads will always end inside the through road (if their end points are placed on top of the through road path (Smart Guides say path). And with the second stroke applied at group level it just follows the outer shape as shown in the first OP image. If you hide the Type paths, you can also add new roads and drag them into the basic path group, then create a Type path from a copy.
You can move matching Anchor Points about together.
Adjusting the corresponding Handles is more tricky, but you can:
5) Lock the Type path (group) and drag the Handle of the Road path to the desired position and unlock the Type path (group);
6) Drag over both Anchor Points then drag the Type path Handle to coincide with the Road path Handle (Smart Guides say handle when you are there).
You will probably have to repeat 6) once or maybe twice or more, but it gets easier the closer you are.
Edit: Hi Steve. No frost at night, so I have just stopped carrying our new star magnolia inside every night; now it has a temporary fence to keep the roe deer outside snapping distance.

Adding Premade buttons in CS5

Hello,i'm pretty new over here and i have an problem.I'm currently using Adobe CS5 Dreamweaver and i cannot add the flash buttons which i remember were included into dreamweaver mx400 so i took a look over my cs5's directory and found these buttons :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Flash Objects
With 3 folders
Flash Buttons
Flash Buttons Preview
Flash Text
When i go to insert-media there's no buttons/flash object category.
Can someone over here help me please?
Lots of thanks in advance.

The Flash text and other options were deprecated in CS4/5. Basically it's not good practice to keep using them because they are not compatible with mobile devices and there is a push to move away from Flash to HTML5 for animations. And for dynamic menus, CSS has picked up much of the slack. You can insert an SWF object by going to Insert->Media SWF. But if it's for a menu you should look into a solution from Project Seven or any CSS menu (there are a ton if you Google search CSS Menu generator).

Adding Labels in Bridge CS5

Can anybody tell me how to add additional labels within Bridge? I know how to label photos with the existing labels within Bridge now, and know that you can change the names of the existing lables (ie change "Red" to "Bob"), but I have not been able to find anyway to add additional labels. I am shooting pictures of a kids soccer team and I want to be able to have a separate label for each of the 14 kids on the team so I can sort by name. Help please!!!
Thanks,
Jim

Yes, you would have to use 2 lines in the search field, one for label and one for rating.
But seems like it would be a lot easier just to put their name on the picture as a keyword. Then sort by keyword.
Think out what you want before you jump into the keywords so you can get the correct structure the first time. For instance do you want to sort by game, month, year? If so have one keyword with name, the others for game, month, or whatever. Using this method you don't need a huge list of keywords, but mix and match to get the right combination. Then in sort you need a line for each keyword.
You can use filter or one keyword, rating, label to sort the current view.

Adding frame in Indd CS5

I set stroke to 0 and it's still adds black stroke.
var myFrame= myDoc.pages[0].rectangles[0];
    if (myFrame.isValid == false){
        myDoc.pages[0].rectangles.add();
        myFrame.geometricBounds = ["-.0625 in","-.0625 in", myPageHeight+.0625, myPageWidth+.0625];
        myFrame.strokeWeight = 0;
        myFrame.fillColor = "None";
       myFrame.strokeColor = "None";
What can I do?
Thank you.

We have 12 Macs and it happens occasionally on all of them when same file is reused.
Thank you.

Adding PDF watermark in Automator doesn't work in Lion?

Hi folks,
I am trying to create a function for adding watermarks to my invoices. I read different tutorials, but whatever I make, when it comes to adding the watermark background (Automator -> Workflow -> PDFs -> Watermark PDF document (not quite sure about the english name)) it doesn't add anything. I tried .jpg, .psd, .png, different image files and sizes. However I never get any file into my list.
Any hints?
Thanks!
Mike

Here's a workaround:
1. Create a workflow, including the "Watermark PDF Documents" action, save it as a workflow.
2. Show the contents of the saved workflow, find the file "document.wflow" inside the "Contents" folder, open it with a word processor, e.g TextEdit or BBEdit or Microsoft Word
3. Find the parameter block of the "Watermark PDF Documents" action, it should look like below:
                              <key>ActionParameters</key>
                              <dict>
                                        <key>angle</key>
                                        <real>57.379999999999995</real>
                                        <key>onePDF</key>
                                        <false/>
                                        <key>opacity</key>
                                        <real>0.72282608695652173</real>
                                        <key>overUnder</key>
                                        <integer>1</integer>
                                        <key>scale</key>
                                        <real>1.4574821967095799</real>
                                        <key>xOffset</key>
                                        <real>34.5</real>
                                        <key>yOffset</key>
                                        <real>23.469999999999999</real>
                                </dict>
4. Add a key-value pair for "fileNames" into the parameter dictionary, so that it looks like this:
                                <key>ActionParameters</key>
                                <dict>
                                        <key>angle</key>
                                        <real>57.379999999999995</real>
                                        <key>fileNames</key>
                                        <array>
                                                <string>/Volumes/Storage/Media/Pictures/SleepingCat.gif</string>
                                        </array>
                                        <key>onePDF</key>
                                        <false/>
                                        <key>opacity</key>
                                        <real>0.72282608695652173</real>
                                        <key>overUnder</key>

How do I find and install the new Watermark plug-in?

I'm using Ps CC and have discovered that there is some kind of new watermark plug in but I can't find it, plus I can't find the plug-in installer. I already have my watermark designed, but I want to batch process addding it to multiple folders at a time. I've tried some action sets I found, but there must be some tricks I don't know. I did find one plug in (Adobe watermark 222) but I get an error message when I try to run it. Says it's only good for versions between 12 and 14???
Thanks.
I did successfully install the digimarc plug-in months ago.

Digimarc is a plug-in that places an invisible watermark into your images. I think what you may be referring to when you write new kind of watermark you may be referring to the Watermark panel for CS5, CS6 and CC which add your visible watermarks to image. There is nothing new about visible watermarks and IMO the panel is a hassle to use. Its easer to create an action that will watermark any size image and use it then maintain different size watermarks to be applied by some Photoshop panel or go through multiple steps in a panel. You can find that panel download here http://russellbrown.com/images/tips_downloads/Adobe_Watermark_222.zip and watch a video about it here http://av.adobe.com/russellbrown/Watermark_SM.mov

Watermarking with Photoshop Elements 10

I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have learned to do them individually. I have also learned to do them with the "process multiple files" , however I have tried over half of the fonts, and even at 72 they are too small. Some of them you can barely even see! Does anyone know why? Is there anything I can do to make it larger? It doesn't do any good to watermark it if it can't be seen....HELP please???

Hi,
I just tested the Process Multiple Files method of adding watermarks and found a couple of things:
1. The resulting files (jpegs) are quite a bit smaller even if you do not request a file resize or file conversion. For example, one picture went from 1319 KB to 283 KB.
2. The color I chose for the watermark was not saved anywhere that I can find, and I do not remember what color it was (a light brown, I think). As I used 25% opacity the nicely discrete watermarks do not have a single pixel that I think is my chosen color.
3. I now understand that doing this edits and saves the jpegs and does some lossy compression. I would imagine that any method of watermarking a jpeg would do the same. BUT I wish I could control the amount of compression.
4. Being error-prone, using my test files, I redid the watermarks, this time with 100% black text (same font and size, as preserved by the dialog, a nice touch). The 100% black text overwrites the 25% brown text nicely. And, that 283 KB file is 284 KB (could be a rounding error in Windows Explorer -- using Windows XP Pro).
5. Other than Bottom Left, Center, and Bottom Right, you can't specify how far from the margins the watermark appears. Because of this, I'm inclined to try the "Brush" technique -- or one of the free downloads.
