How to apply a watermark to hundreds of pictures quickly/easily?

Ok I need to add a watermark/tiny logo of mine to hundreds and hundreds of different photos.
What is the easiest/quickest way to do this?
Surely it cant be one by one...?

So you've basically made me a template for me to plug my logo into? Is that my understanding?
I haven't made anything. That tutorial video by Russsell Brown of Adobe tells you how to do it and the action he offers will do all the hard work and let you pick your logo.
You just have to load the action into the your Actions Panel and run it as he describes.

How can I apply page watermarks to digitally signed documents

When printing a digitally signed PDF I need to apply a watermark across each page that states the hardcopy is an uncontrolled version of the document. I understand how to allow updates to specific form fields after the document has been signed, but cannot find a way to allow the application, removal, or modification of page level watermarks after the document has been signed.

I do not want to invalidate the digital signature when applying a watermark.
The use case is when a user prints a hardcopy of a digitally signed SOP, a watermark needs to be placed on the page that states the hardcopy is an un-controlled document, the print date, and an expiration date.
I realize that any change to a digitally signed document is normally considered to be an operation that invalidates the signatures. However, it is possible to specify fields that may be changed AFTER the signatures are applied without invalidating the signature. I am looking for the same capablity with watermarks.

Lighroom 4.2 How to apply watermarks ?

I recently starting using 4.2, first time using any Lightroom application, and I found how to set the watermarks but no way to actually apply them to my photos. Anyone care to chip in ? Thanks much.

Watermarks are applied only on Export/Output. They will never appear on photos in your catalog. Most people do not want to forever alter a photo by applying a watermark to it unless it is a photo they are sharing/selling and then they only watermark the derivative copy.

How to Apply adjustment layers to multiple layers that have different blending modes ...

How to Apply adjustment layers to multiple layers that have different blending modes and keep the colours the same as the adjusment done?
I work in Animation painting Backgrounds. My files are sometimes upwards to 200+ layers.
I will use adjustment layers to quickly balance colours and constrast on top of those many many layers.
The only way that I know of how to apply adjustment layers it to every single layer ( by applying I mean I need to get rid of the adjustment layers because we cant use them in production but i need the new colours be applied to all layers underneath ) in a psd is to manually do it By duplicating the adjusment layer 200+ times and then merging each layer to one of those adjustment layers so that that layer can take the adjustment layers effect permanently.
The issue is that Within Those 200 layers I have some layers set to Multiply or OVERLAY.    IT obviously wont apply the adjustment layer properly to those layers because those layer blend mode affect the layers under them. The colour wont be the same anymore in the spots that had the multiply blended mode.
HEres an example of a simple File. to show what i mean.
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3408266/ball%20layers.jpg
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/3408266/ball.psd
I have 2 adjustment layers up top. I need to get rid of them by applying them to each layer! I cannot merge any of the layers. We need all those layers for production.
I can apply the adjustment layers manually and this works GREAT for all Layers set to normal. THey take on the colour change just FINE.
However, The issue is that layer 6 and layer 4 are both set to mutiply and this screws up the colour once i apply the adjustment layers to each layer manually...
How can i apply my adjustment layers to a file like this with some layers being set to multiply while keeping the layers exactly the same configuration and The new colour taking efffect exactly how i looks before i apply the adjustment layers?
Now the simple solution is to merge the multiply layers to the layer that it affects HOWEVER I NEED those multiply layers to be seperate!
I'm assuming what I want to do is impossible? Hope this isnt confusing. As far as i know its impossible to do what I want it to do. but just wanted to ask and see.
I would REALLY REALLY love to talk to a adobe programmer/ technician/pro working at adobe about this. Theres just no way to get in touch with anyone... =(
any thoughts ?

Sure... if you want to put it that way. Either way its not the desirable outcome.
its just frustrating that theres no way to apply adjustment layers to hundreds of layers while keeping them in the same configuration ( blendmodes, layer order , without merging) while keeping the same end result.
works great if all your layers are set to normal though..    But I really need to keep shadow layers seperately and be able to adjust on the fly aswell as apply those adjusment to all my layers.
I suppose that just isnt possible.   I understand the math required for this would be tremendous/ complicated if something like this would ever be implemented. Would be nice if adobe could come up with some solution to this. Its really a huge issue in my work flow and theres no alternatives.    How else can I adjust colours to 100+ layers with a few clicks that lets me play around the the adjustment until im happy with the outcome.    Really wish i could adjust and the quickly apply that adjustment to all my layers regardless of blend mode.   LIke If the Layers with blendmode could somehow take the properties of the adjustment layer and keep adjusting those layers undereathe on top of that blended mode that its doing...

Newbie alert! How to add a watermark

Maybe I just missed this in the manual. I admit to being greener than grass with this sort of software. And as much as I search the 'help' pdf that came with 1.1, I still can't figure this out.
I've created a plate, and the name shows up all nice and pretty when I start Lightroom.
But I can't figure out how to add a watermark to a picture.
Specifically, I'd prefer to add it on import of the RAW file, but I'd settle for being able to add a watermark on the creation of a jpg file.
Currently I take the jpg into photoshop where I have a watermark layer that I apply.
But I'd rather not leave lightroom at all, if possible. That's kinda the point of getting Lightroom.
Any help or guidance that you can give would be greatly appreciated.
tia

Yes, that was the year I was born.
So now I've figured out how to add the meta data. I've even created a metadata template that gets applied when I import. This is a good thing.
When I check the exported jpg files, the extended properties include the copyright information that my template entered. Yet another good thing
however...
There is no watermark on the jpg!
Yes, the "Add copyright watermark" option is checked in the "Image Settings" area of the export. (If I could figure out how to attach the screen print, I'd show you.) And the copyright information shows up in the extended properties of the jpg. But no watermark.
If it is relevant, I am using Vista with Lightroom 1.1
I really did rtfm. And I thought I had it figured out after a bit of hacking. But I was wrong.
Suggestions?

Macbook pro system running slow - etrecheck shows issues - any idea how to apply fixes?

Hi I normally consider myself pretty web savvy but I'm totally lost on what to do here. This computer has been running slow since I got it, but the harddrive went sideways recently. I've never worked with a recovered drive - which I apparently have as my terminal lists my workfolder-2 so....I'm guessing I'm pretty screwed. I learned about etrecheck through the forums here but don't understand how to apply it
Would anyone help me understand what I need to do?
Here's my etrecheck:

Adding some RAM would help. Even though you haven't restarted for 4+ days, this is a little high. The 2 places I’ve seen recommended most to buy reliable RAM are below. I have purchased RAM several times from Other World Computing and have always been very satisfied with the product and service. They have on-line instructions on how to replace the RAM. OWC has also tested RAM above what Apple states is the maximum. I now have 6GB installed on a machine supposedly limited to 4 GB.

How to apply an Outlook 2013 Open license to a pre-installed Office Home and Business 2013 installation for Email Auto Archiving functionality

We're deploying new Dell pc's.
Unfortunately we have a large existing install base of Office Home and Business in the field due to customers buying Office bundled on Dell machines. Buying Open License Outlook licenses is more cost effective than upgrading to Office Pro Plus for all
these users and is our preferred path. We aren’t sure how to apply these Open License Outlook licenses since the Home and Business installations work off a single license key for all the applications

Hi,
Isn't the Office bundled on Dell machines already activated?
If it's the OEM version that has been installed on the machines and you want to use retail product keys to activate the Office, it's not possible. You will need to uninstall the OEM version and install the retail version.
You can check the OEM licensing system here:
http://www.microsoft.com/OEM/en/licensing/productlicensing/Pages/office-2013-licensing-packaging.aspx
To find more help about OEM depolyment, I should recommend you to get contact with the OEM Reseller Support System

If I misunderstood anything, please feel free to post back.

How to add a watermark in Pages 5.0

Hello!
Could anyone please explain to me how to add a watermark in Pages 5.0
Thank you

Hi have found the solution. You need go into the View menu and make sure that you have checked the Show Invisibles option. Once you can see the invisibles, you should see a blue line at the top of the "blank" page with a small "document" icon at the right of the line. You need to delete this blue line/icon which will delete the whole page as long as there are no other "invisible items" which may also need to be deleted.
I did the above and my blank page disappeared from the thumbnails view immediately.

How to apply album cover picture to all songs on cd not just one at a time?

i found agreat website with free cd covers for my songs that will show up in the corner of my ipod. but i can figure out how to apply the picture to all the songs in an alubm an dnot just one, i can only drag the picture into the box in itunes one by one.

I highly recommend Album Cover Finder

It's not free, but it's worth the small investment of 9 bucks.
I just point it to my iTunes library and it batch uploads the artwork to every file automatically.

How to Apply a Newly Created Access Policy on Existing Users in OIM????????

How to Apply a Newly Created Access Policy on Existing Users in OIM?
When the rule is getting failed the user is getting removed from the group but resource is not getting revoked. This is happening only for the old uses..for the users which i created now it working fine..i mean its resource is getting revoked.
(Retrofit access policy" is checked on the Access Policyand Revoke if not longer applied is checked.)
For the old users i see the POl_Key is null, for new users i see a value '10'. So i updated the pol_key for old users same as it got generated for new users '10'.
i even updated the form version too but still revoke doesn't work.
I cant go for the below approach..
In order to apply a newly created Access Policy on existing users, one has to make sure that:
1) "Retrofit access policy" is checked on the Access Policy.
2) Then run the "Set User Provisioned Date" Schedule task to apply the Access Policy on the existing users in OIM.
Note: After 9.1.0.1 BP03 the access policy execution has been moved to a new scheduled task "Evaluate User Policies" as mentioned inDocument 839368.1 :How to Use Access Policies to Provision with Groups.
Is there any other approach i can try.. if you have any idea please reply me asap
Thanks..

Thanks for the reply kevin..
We decided to try the Schedule task (Set User Provisioned Date).
But i see one problem here after seeing this post in metalik --> Can Access Policies Manage The Life-cycle Of Users Created via Reconciliation? [ID 1136540.1]
According to this post Access Policies framework does not manage users who are obtained either through trusted reconciliation or target reconciliation.
Is there any custom way to achieve this??
How does the access policy framework revoke resource work? (revoke if no longer applies)??

How to apply a Character Style that's already been made in a template document?

First of all I'd like to thank everyone that helps. I'm a complete beginner at scripting and appreciate all your help.
I'm basically using GREP expressions to find patterns in a document and apply a Character Style which has already been made. This Character style was not made using script, but just in InDesign when making and setting up the template.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//Clear the find/change grep preferences.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
//GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = ".+\n";
//Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
myDoc.changeGrep();
//Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
This is how I currently have it. I will manually define the changes to the text. The problem is, each template uses a different set of fonts and not all of them use Bold e.g. Sabon can use CE Bold.
I would like to learn how to apply a Character Style and have tried looking around but nothing seems to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

select the text where u went and run below script after change group as per ur template.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var mySel = app.selection[0];
//Clear the find/change grep preferences.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//Set the find options.
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeFootnotes = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
//GREP Expression for finding all HEADERS
app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "role";
//Applying formatting changes to put into All Caps, Bold and changing the font size to 12 pt.
//app.changeGrepPreferences.capitalization = Capitalization.allCaps;
//~ app.changeGrepPreferences.fontStyle = "Bold";
//~ app.changeGrepPreferences.pointSize = "12";
app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedCharacterStyle=myDoc.characterStyleGroups.item("Style Group 1").characterStyleGroups.item("Style Group 2").characterStyles.item("Header")// Header is name of character name
mySel.changeGrep();
//Clear the find/change preferences after the search.
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

How to apply PKCS7 Siganture to a File

How to apply PKCS7 Siganture to a File, I go through the BouncyCastle API, all it deal SMIME message.
Please suggest me how to make a PKCS7 signature to a simple business document(i.e XML File).
Thank s in advance

how to read from a file ? Probably the easiest way is to see the API documentation for java.io.BufferedReader
how to delete an item from a file Not knowing what kind of "item" it is I'd suggest building a BufferedReader that reads your input file. Walk through it one line at a time using the readLine method and if the item is not there then write it to a new file. When you get to the item you want to delete just don't write it out.
