Do I Need Photoshop to Make a Watermark

All the posts I've seen about making a watermark for Aperture tell me to create it as a PSD file on Photoshop. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've been using Aperture instead of getting Photoshop. Do I really need to buy Photoshop just to be able to make a watermark that works on Aperture? Is there another simpler way to make a file that will work, like Powerpoint or Word (though I've tried both, with no luck)?
Thanks.

re Borderx, you still need to create an image (watermark) in another program like PS
Not if you choose to use a text watermark. Not my personal choice but it's possible.
also when using Borderfx Aperture will create another TIFF file so for every picture you want a watermark for you'll end up with a duplicate file
Not if you use the export plugin (instead of the editor plugin). Both come with the install.
That said I agree the watermark feature can be weird sometimes. I've created a few logos for certain image sizes I tend to use with watermarks. This helps a bit. Most of the problems arise when AP tries to scale things on its own.

  • Do you need Photoshop to make apps for iPhone?

    Which Photoshop would be best to get? If you don't need Photoshop, then where would I design my apps? Can I design it in xcode?

    Sorry, I haven't owned a copy of Photoshop since 1997 I think. I think that was a student version I paid $250 for. If you want information on Photoshop, I suggest asking in a Photoshop forum. As a developer, Photoshop has little value for me. Sure it has lots of features, but I am way too busy to learn them. Give me fast and easy instead.
    A vector tool is a program that allows you to create vector imagery. These images a composed of mathematical definitions instead of pixels. They can be scaled up or down with no loss of resolution. When you draw with a vector tool, you can make perfect circles and other shapes that would be impossible with freehand drawing in a raster tool like Photoshop. Popular vector formats are Adobe Illustrator, EPS, SVG, and sometimes PDF.
    Vector tools are important for developers because you can build your artwork in a vector tool and easily scale it up or down to match your device. You can't just shrink down a big image to make it smaller. It will be smaller, but blurry and lower quality. Using a vector tool gives you more control to shrink down and maintain crisp outlines and recognizable shapes.

  • Need help with making a Watermark

    I am using Photoshop Elements 8 to make a watermark.  All goes well until I get to the (Go to edit>select "Define Brushes")  Define Brushes is not highlighted and will not let me select it.  Helpful solutions would be most welcome.  I have tried a number of things including uninstallingthe program, restarting, installing.  I'm out of ideas.

    You need to have an open image. So you must first create your watermark. Here are instructions for making a text watermark with bevel.
    Create a template using the editor:
    File >> New >> Blank File
    Set your dimensions and resolution of 72 and choose transparent for your background color.
    Select the type tool and add your name or watermark information.
    Choose the effects pallet and under styles find the bevels. Drag the one you cant on top of the text. The go to File >> Save For Web
    Select file type PNG24 (that will preserve the transparency) and then save your file.
    You can now use this file to make your brush.
    Go to Edit >> Define Brush
    After you have saved your new brush pre-set select the brush tool and scroll down to the bottom of the brush list. You can apply to photos with one click.

  • Hi, I forgot my user password mac 10.9.4 I don't need it to log in but i need it to make changes, etc. It says a password hasn't been set for this account but it still asks for one when i click on the lock icon. can anyone help me? thx!

    This is a little confusing since you say you have forgotten your password and then the system says you have not entered a password.  Even with an Admin account you must have a password to install software.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.7 or above, you can change the admin password by restarting holding the Command and R keys, from the menu bar select Utilities, then Terminal.  When the Terminal window opens, at the cursor type exactly:
    resetpassword
    and press Enter.  When the Reset Password window opens, select the internal hard drive, and then the user account.  Type a new password twice, leave the Hint blank, and then Save.  Accept the next dialog that opens, and at the bottom of the Reset Password window agree to resetting the home directory permissions.
    Quit the Reset Password window, go to the apple left side of the menu bar, Restart.
    And you have a new password for your account.

    With SO MUCH photo editing software available, what would be the best for me if I am a digital camera newby? I do not need Photoshop CC! I do not want to spend $700 bucks! My camera is a Nikon D90. Please help.

    Where did you come up with the $700 figure?
    Photography plan - $9.99/month or $119/year - Creative Cloud Photography plan : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Single App - $19.99/month
    Complete plan - $49.99/month or $599/yr - Creative Cloud free trial & plans : Adobe Creative Cloud
    Ah - If you wish to cancel early yeah $74.99 which would total for the year at $899.88. But that final total would be if you canceled in the 12th month but if you plan on keeping it that long might as well go for the annual contract. Then cancel at the end of the term limit if you need to.
    If you are not sure what to get, Either Elements as was suggested by Peru Bob or the photography plan.

  • Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC

    Need Photoshop Elements RAW plugin for Canon 70D using MAC - please advise where I can find it to download. Thanks.

    To work with the Canon 70D, you will need Camera Raw version 8.2 or later:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    In order to work with this version of Camera Raw, you will need Photoshop Elements 12:

    If you do not have Photoshop Elements 12, you can use the DNG converter to convert the CR2 files to DNG, which will then work in whatever version of Photoshop Elements you have:

  • I need Photoshop, Illustrator, Premier, and After Affects.  Which plan would be cheapest?

    I am a graphic designer that is very familiar with Photoshop and I'm getting into Illustrator.  I am beginning to create videos so I need After Affects to create graphics and Premier to edit video.
    On second thought.  I need Photoshop and Illustrator.  But I want to be able to create graphics like intros, banners, text etc. in videos.
    Do I need both Premier and After Affects, or not?
    Which would be the best plan to get? I am not sure which plan to buy and am very confused.  Thanks.

    Hi,
    Which operating system are you running on?
    Which version of Photoshop Elements are you using?
    The automatic running is usually invoke by your operating system. For instance in Windows 7, go to the control panel and select Autoplay. There, look for the action when pictures are detected - it is probably set to elements. Set it as you want.
