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

  • How do you add an image in the signature

    Hi,
    How do you add an image to the signature area.
    The Insert/edit image is not available when in My Settings | Personnel Info | Signature
    Regards
    Ray Farmer

    You need to link the image.  See the example for the Canada flag below.
    <img src="http://forums.ni.com/ni/attachments/ni/130/6908/1/Canada-small.PNG" border=0>
    Replace with the image you like.  This goes into the signature box within the profile tab of the personal settings.

  • How do you add a signature to your images in Aperture?

    How do you add a signature (ie: jpg my name is) to your images in Aperture? I'd like to put together a look for my images and apply it to the photos. Currently it looks like I have to touch up in Aperture and go to PS3 to add the signature.
    Is there a way to do it in Aperture?

    Searched Watermark in Manual
    Adding a Watermark at Export
    A watermark is a visible graphic overlay that is applied to an image. Photographers often use watermarks to indicate that images are protected by a copyright and discourage others from inappropriately using their images.
    You can import a graphics file and add it to your images as a watermark.
    To add a watermark image to your exported images:
    1 Select the images you want to export.
    2 Choose File > Export > Versions (or press Command-Shift-E).
    3 In the dialog that appears, choose Edit from the Export Preset pop-up menu.
    4 In the Export Presets dialog, select the export preset you want to use to export your images.
    5 Select the Show Watermark checkbox.
    6 Click the Choose Image button.
    7 Select the image you want to use as a watermark, then click Choose.
    8 Choose where you want the watermark to appear on the image from the Position
    pop-up menu.
    9 To adjust the opacity of the watermark, drag the Opacity slider to a new position.
    10 If you want the watermark to be scaled in proportion to the image’s output size, select the “Scale watermark” checkbox.
    11 When you’re satisfied with how your watermark appears in the watermark preview area, click OK.
    12 Navigate to the location where you want the exported images placed.
    13 Choose a name format for your exported files from the Name Format pop-up menu.
    14 Click Export Versions.
    Your files are exported with the watermark you created.
    *Tips for Creating High-Quality Watermarks*
    Use the following guidelines to create high-quality watermarks for your images:
    Â Save your watermark as a .psd (Photoshop) file with a transparent background.
    Â Create multiple sizes of your watermark so that you can select the one that is the best match for the output size of the exported image.
    Note: If a watermark file is larger than the image you want to export, Aperture
    automatically scales the watermark down to fit the image. (Aperture does not scale watermarks up.)
    Â After you create a watermark, save it as part of an export preset so you can reuse it as often as you need.

  • How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?

    How can you add an image in Mail without being an attachment?
    In otherwords I'd like to put my logo in the email not as an attachment but as an image.
    Is there a simpel solution to this problem?

    PBN1 wrote:

    You don't.
    It's not possible. The e-mail protocol is designed for text; anything else has to go as an attachment.
    Different mail clients (such as Mail.app, the mail client bundled with Mac OS X) may have different ways of handling such attachments, but they are still attachments. Each mail client has its own rules and methods, so one may display a picture as if it were in the body of the message, but another client may do something completely different.
    A way of faking it is to format your message in HTML (which is a kind of text). The image is hosted on a remote server, not added to the message; instead, you include a link to it in the body of the message, as you would when building a web page. (This is also what the two tips helpfully provided by X423424X do, except that the link to the image is added in the signature, rather than the body of the message.) What exactly happens to it is, again, at the discretion of the mail client. In my case, for instance, displaying images in HTML messages is turned off, and will stay resolutely off.

  • How do I add keywords to my images using DW?

    How do I add keywords to my images using DW?

    Well, there's <meta> keywords, then there are "keywords", here's an example...
    <meta name="keywords" content="everything, you, can, pack, into, this, tag, doesn't, matter, what, or, if, it, makes, sense">
    ...is totally obsolete for the reason I hint at in that tag example itself. There was a time, long ago in the dark ages of web design, where the keywords meta was actually used to determine page content to some degree. Developers immediately took advantage of it and started cramming everything they could think of into the <meta>, even totally unrelated but popular search terms, in the hopes that it would affect their rankings. It did, for a time, until the search engines got smarter and started totally ignoring the tag all together.
    "Keywords" changed meaning after that. Now search engines actually look at your page content and determine what your page is about. Making keyword rich, relevant html text (not odd blocks of random coma separated text anymore) is one of the things (there are many pieces to Search Engine Optimization or SEO) that determines if someone finds you using a particular word or phrase.

  • How do you add multiple iTunes to Keynote

    How do you add multiple songs from the iTunes to your Keynote presentation?

    Jer&Renee,
    welcome to Apple Discussions.
    It depends where you want them in your presentation.
    Open the Media inspector and choose a playlist. In the list of entries, mark those you want to add to Keynote (use command-click to mark multiple titles not in one block).
    Then drag the marked titles either on a slide or on the small Audio field (looks like a frame) in Document inspector. When you then hover the cursor at the Audio "frame", you'll see the quick info "Multiple Files". You cannot change the order or remove one of the files, but only all of them.

  • How do I add text to an image?

    I have purchased a template and imported it to Photoshop. I then sliced the template into sections, saved it for web and opened the index file in dreamweaver. My questions is, how do I add text to the images? I want to add the text content, within the boxes on the template, but because they are exported as images from Photshop I can't seem to do it...So let's say there is a box in the middle of the template and I want it to say, Services at the top and below that have a little information about the services offered with a "read more" button at the bottom. I have exported the template out of photoshop with text added and with the boxes empty. I tried to add the text in dreamweaver but couldn't. When I export the sliced template out of photoshop with the text already included, it does show up in Dreamweaver, however it is not in html and I would like it to be for SEO purposes. Forgive me if this question is silly or already answered, I have looked everywhere and couldn't find the answer.
    Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.

    Hi,
    I prefer to use tables for that. For example (First of all you have to store this new file):
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>AddedText</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <table width="40%" border="4">
      <tr>
        <td>Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text </td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td align="center" valign="top"><div align="center"><img src="yourPicture.jpg" alt="image 01" width="127" height="33" /></div></td>
      </tr>
      <tr>
        <td>Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text Text </td>
      </tr>
    </table>
    </body>
    </html>
    Here I took a table with only one column, you can modify my choice.
    There is so too a possibility to use a complete flow text around a picture. If you like that, please give me a shout.

  • How do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

    how do you add transparency in Dreamweaver

    With CSS.
    Opacity effects everything including text.
    #divName {
         opacity: 45%;
    RGBA backgrounds allow you to set alpha-transparency in the last value.
    #divName {
         background: rgba(0,0,0,0.45);
    Or, for older browsers, use a semi-transparent PNG background-image.
    #divName {
         background-image: url(my_transparent_BG.png);
