Aperture/watermark os 10.9.1

Ok
Follwed all the instructions to make a watermark. using os 10.9.1 and aperture 3.5.1 made a png got all the words cut out and saved as a png, then a pdf then a jpeg nothing worked. It's worked on the older version of the soft ware but not the current. Help.

To be honest few use the built in watermarking capabilities of Aperture, it's just to limited.
You'd be doing yourself a favor by checking out BorderFX does watermarks and a lot more and it will work as both an export plugin and an edit plugin.

  • Watermarks in Aperture not working for me

    I am having an odd problem with Aperture watermarks through the export presets.
    When I select "choose image" button after selecting the watermark check box, then select my watermark (which I have tried PSD's, JPEGS, Tiffs with transparent backgrounds, and just about every other format) it does not show up in the little viewer window. The only way that I can get it to show up is to drag my PSD or Tiff files from the finder into the box, where at that time they actually show up.
    However, upon changing the Opacity, the watermark that has been dragged into the box from finder promptly disappears. Not good.
    When I do not fiddle with the opacity bar and just click OK then try and export, the images come out without any watermark. But all the settings are the same as I left them, just the box is empty, just like when I change the opacity.
    I have read about people having problems with aperture 1.5 concerning watermarks, but I am running 2.1.3 and have not run into any people saying that they have problems.
    The PSD/tiff files that I am try to import are 5000 pixels long and 500 pixels wide or 10000 long and 1000 high. Big, I know, but I select scales down so it should be no problem, especially when shooting on the 5DII or D3x I can still use these watermarks without having to create new ones just for the bigger guns.
    Is this a bug or a problems only I am having?
    Should I re-install?
    Or just deal with not getting to watermark my images.

    Sara,
    What happens if you:
    1) Select all/any mutually overlapping bone parts and Pathfinder>Unite,
    2) Select all the bone parts and Object>Compound Path>Make,
    3) Select everything and Object>Clipping Mask>Make?

  • My autoscale for my watermark is not working in Aperture 3

    I've been using the Aperture 3 program for the past few months without any problem. I set my own export preset with the watermark I made and it has been autoscaling my watermark perfectly every time. But, suddenly I went to export a batch of new pictures and my auto scale stopped working. I'm pretty sure I haven't changed the process I have been using, and I'm at a loss as to what to do.
    If it makes any difference, I originally put the pictures on a PC to do initial editing then I use a thumb drive to transfer the pictures on to my Mac.
    Thank you

    If you have been told to restore the phone with iTunes, then why don't you do this? It is irrelevant whether you have data that needs to be backed up or not.
    You need to restore the phone as new with iTunes in order to complete the unlock. You should get a message after the restore informing you that the phone has been unlocked. If the SIM does not work after that, then Sprint has NOT unlocked the phone, and you would have to go back to them. Apple does not unlock phones; only the carriers do.

  • Solution to "Black image when adding a watermark in Aperture"

    Hi,
    I read an archived topic about people having issues with adding a watermark to their exported images using Aperture 1.5.2. I think the solution lies with what your current Display color profile (System Preferences > Display > Color) is set to and what color profile you used to create your watermark.
    I created my original watermark using Photoshop CS2 and I believe that the watermark was saved using the sRGB Profle. However, I then calibrated my monitor using a Pantone Huey and it changed the color profile in my System Preferences. So every time I tried to export an image with a watermark from Aperture, I would get a black image with my watermark in the correct spot.
    To solve the problem, I changed my Color Profile to sRGB Profile, then started Aperture. When I exported my image, everything came out properly.
    Hope this is helpful to others.

    I also just ran into this problem...my solution was an issue with the RAW fine tuning.
    Images that used the new RAW fine tuning 2.0 (with Aperture 2) exported watermarks (I used a .psd file) just fine, but when exporting images with RAW fine tuning 1.1, a black box would show up around my watermark. So I migrated my images to RAW fine tuning 2.0 and it fixed the black box issue.

  • 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]

  • Still Watermarks differences between Aperture 3.0.3 and 2.1.4

    Hi,
    have a look at those photos (not good, just a fun shot with a tele..)
    but u see the difference between the 2 versions of aperture - all settings are the same. Update to 3.0.3 doesn't change anything.
    does not matter if .psd or .png for the watermark.
    2.1.4 - good

    3.0.3 - bad

    what should i do? i think apple have to fix this ** bug. good money for a currently bad product -> ***.

    Jep,
    Same problem here, still there in 3.0.3.. just keep calling their support/spamming their feedback.. and hope they fix it soon..

  • Watermarking for Aperture's web gallery

    I really like Aperture's web gallery feature but would like to make use of the watermark feature for those images. That way, if images are 'borrowed' there is still a reference to my website.
    Any ideas on how this could be done? I'm guessing the only way is to edit in PS and add the watermark there but is it possible to do without leaving Aperture?
    Ross

    Make a new Web Export preset with a watermark, just like you would a regular Image Export preset.

  • Watermark showing up too small in Aperture 3.1

    Just upgraded my Macbook and am having a probelm with Aperture.
    I am using the same watermark, and the same version of Aperture on both Macs, but on the new Macbook,  the watermark is showing up too small.
      It is not set 'to scale' and all the settings are identical. 
    On my old Macbook, the watermark is large and covers the bottom 1/4 of the photo.
    On my new Macbook, the watermark is tiny and can barely be seen.
    This has been tested using the same photo. 
    What could be causing this to occur? 

    Frank,
    I have a similar situation that you seem like you might understand.
    I bought a new computer, started a new user (A), and downloaded Aperture. Then I realized it was easier to move the pictures from my old computer by transferring everything from that computer, creating another user (B) on my new computer. Since then I havent used user A at all, but now I can't access plug-ins for Aperture. Based on your posts above I checked user B and sure enough there are the plug-ins. I tried to repair permissions in the disk utility, and that didn't help. I restarted the program after each try.
    Any idea of what I might try next?
    On a separate note, I've been unhappy with this new macbook pro from the start, as compared to my old macbook, in terms of speed. Plus the battery life *****, which is a main reason i ditched the last one, no where near as advertised. Could an extraneous unnecessarily running/ partitioned in the background be creating any problems for speed or battery life? Or was dumping in everything from my old computer a bad idea?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

  • Location of Watermark in Aperture is Incorrect

    Using the instructions in Aperture I've created a watermark in Word, saved it as a pdf, selected the photos in Aperture I want to be watermarked, imported the pdf watermark file and selected the necessary choices to apply the watermark to my photos through Aperture's File/Import menu. I selected the option to have the watermark applied to the lower right-hand corner of my photos....But the watermark appears in the middle of the photos and slightly to the right.
    FYI, when I created the watermark in Word I reduced all the margins so they encapsulated the text I intended to be saved as the watermark.
    How do I fix this problem? Did I fail to make the proper settings in Aperture? Is there a specific format in Word I should adhere to? Thanks everyone!!

    You mean the ability to add watermarks to other then exported images? I wouldn't hold my breath, its been this way at least since 3 came out but you can always suggest it to Apple, see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback.
    Using BorderFx is really a better solution, in my opinion, anyway. In order to add watermarks with Aperture you first need to create the watermark file in some other program and then aligning it and sizing it in Aperture is a bit of a pain.
    BorderFx gives you a lot more options not only for watermarks but for a range of useful features. It's a worthwhile addition to Aperture no matter what, And the price ain't bad either.

  • How could insert a Watermark or Copy Right logo in Aperture 2?

    Hello,
    Would it be possible to insert a copy right logo or watermark in a version modified & edited in Aperture 2? Or that is not available in Aperture 2?
    Regards

    Since I think Aperture will expect you to furnish a .psd file, it might be best to find a friend to create the watermark image as a PSD with transparent background.
    Where are you using your images after they leave Aperture -- many gallery sites provide ways to watermark on their websites? Or are you wanting to have on images you print?
    You might check on http://www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ for some app to create this, and you might investigate whether Photoshop Express (PS Online) has enough capability to create the needed file for Aperture.

  • How do I create and use a watermark in aperture?

    Hello there!
    How to I create and use a watermark in aperture? do I need to download a 3rd party plugin? Any recommendations?
    Thank you!

    Aperture does not support the creation of watermarks; if you want a watermark image with transparent regions you need an application that can handle alpha channels - Prewiew, Photoshop, Pixelmator, Gimp, just to name a few.
    But once you have a watermark image, you can add it to an image, when you export from Aperture. Add the watermark to one of the Export Presets. You will need to create your watermark in different sizes, so you can add it to each of the export pixel sizes for your images, that you are using.
    Another possibility would be using the BorderFX plugin. This versatile plug-in also supports to add graphic overlays to your images, either when exporting or as an Edit plug-in.  http://www.iborderfx.com/BorderFX

  • How to add watermark in aperture

    i don't have photoshop. i want to add watermark in my pictures.

    While it is possible to add a watermark in Aperture you can;t create a watermark file in Aperture, for that you will need another program. There are many good tutorials on the web, search for Watermarks in Aperture or somthing similar.
    If you don;t want to go through all that you can download the Aperture plugin BorderFx which is free and will allow you to add watermarks and a bunch of other useful functions.

  • Aperture 3: Watermarks with Facebook, Flickr, and MobileMe

    I am pleased that Apple has released Aperture 3. I have not had the chance to download the 30-day trial or play with it in an Apple store yet. For those of you who have, do you know if Apple has enabled (visible) watermarking as part of the sharing on Facebook, Flickr, and MobileMe? I don't post images without visible watermarks to the Internet without one.
    What I currently do with Aperture 2.x is export the images (as .jpg) into a folder adding a watermark as part of the export preset, then import them back into Aperture and then post to MobileMe, Facebook, or Flickr. I am hoping that Aperture 3 eliminates the need for these extra steps.
    If it doesn't have this ability, does anyone do anything similar that might be more streamlined?

    Thank you folks for your suggestions. I just purchased Aperture 3 and needed to create a watermark. I was able to accomplish this using the steps below.
    1. Scan the watermark into the computer or create it with an editing application. (I scanned my signature into my computer and saved it as a jpg. If you are worried about someone having your signature you may want to use a printed watermark.)
    2. Open the scanned image in a photo editing application. (I used Photoshop even though I am very uncomfortable with its complexity.)
    3. Adjust the size of the image using the," Image Size", tool under "Image" column in the Menu. (Do not use the Canvas Size tool. It did not work for me.)
    4. Place the Layers palette on the desktop by selecting, "Layers" in the Window column at the end of the Menu.
    5. Double click on the background icon in the Layers palette to open a new layer. It should be Layer 0.
    6. Click, "OK".
    7. Next select the Magic Wand in the tools palette and touch the background of the image. Click on the background to select the background. Click delete to make the the background disappear. The watermark should remain without the background.
    8. If there are any areas enclosed in a loop, like a zero or, "O", take the magic wand and select the enclosed area to highlight it. Remove this area with the delete button. You can put the copyright mark on the image if you like by typing it next to your watermark.
    9. Go to, "Save As", and save the image as a psd file where you can find it.
    10. Quit the application and open Aperture and go to the preference folder for Aperture.
    11. Select the Export icon and activate the, "Email photo export", preset button.
    12. Select edit and go to, "Choose Image", to select your watermark with the transparent background.
    13. Select a new preset on the right and name your new watermark.
    14. The new watermark will appear in the, "Email photo export" options.
