Multiple logos or watermarks on a photo

I am trying to figure out how to put multiple logos and or watermarks on multiple photos as a batch in CS6 or LR5.  I'm pretty sure that LR5 can only do one png at a time.  But I am doing shots of local bands and would like to be able to put their logo in one corner and mine in the other. I just don't know how to make it happen on both landscape and portrait style photos.  Any help would be nice.
Thank you in advance.

Hello Jared,
the problem "watermarks" was discussed very often in the Dreamweaver forum (see Dreamweaver support forum).
In addition to Steve's hint, here is the LR forum: Photoshop Lightroom. The LR-"cookbook" finds there Lightroom Help | Using the Watermark Editor
Should we really do that? Thereover there is a wonderful philosophical discussion:
http://webhome.idirect.com/~bowers/copy/copy1.htm.
If you really want to try it, I'll give you here the link to a German website (no problem to adapt the source code) where you can create an alert box:
http://www.6webmaster.com/homepagetools/klicksperre/do.php
And by the way there is the misconception that we can protect our graphics (or videos). With little effort interested people can get to their destination. Under some circumstances it simply is a question of browsers technique.
You will see, that in the end it is still difficult to protect images from unauthorized copying. So you should use best (quote): "To discourage theft, use watermarks, lower quality images and/or digital watermarking like http://www.digimarc.com/digimarc-for-images."

  • How do you put a watermark on a photo in Elements 12

    I have been trying to add a watermark to my photos in Elements 12 for at least a week now. I have looked at different discussion boards and tried to follow those directions with no luck. I am truly hoping someone will see this and be able to give me the proper information I need to add a watermark to my photo's so I can add them to the internet and be able to give them out to friends and family.
      I have had this program since January of this year and have had a hard time learning how to use it. I am not saying I do not like it, I am just saying it is frustrating when I am trying to do something on a photo, it either takes me a while to find what I am looking for or I can not do what I would like because I can not figure it out.
    I did try to follow two different links I found in discussion boards about watermarks for elements 12 and neither one helped.

         http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/851/cpsid_85114.html
    I do not know what else to do, Can someone please help me and give me the proper information I need to add the watermark to my photos? I will greatly appreaciate it

    Which step of the first link you posted is giving you trouble?
    Open the photos in Editor.  
    Click Expert.
    Select File > Process Multiple Files.
    From the Process Files From drop-down list, select Opened Files.
    Browse and select the folder in which you want to save the photos after the watermark is added.   Note: The watermark that you add using this method is permanent. So specify a folder other the folder in which your original photos are stored.
    Click the drop-down list in the Labels area and select Watermark.
    Specify the text that you want to display as the watermark. For example, you can specify your name.
    Select the position, for example, Bottom Right.
    Select a font according to your preference.
    Specify the font size.
    Note: The font size depends on the dimensions of the photo. Photos of larger dimensions require the watermark to be in a large font.
    Adjust the opacity and choose a color of your choice.
    Click OK.
    To view the changes, open the photos from the folder you specified.

  • How do I add a watermark to my photo's

    How do I add a watermark to my photo's?

    iPhoto has no built-in feature to watermark photos.
    You can do it in an external editor, that allows graphics compositing or install the very useful plugin "BorderFX" (donation ware).  You can download it here:   BorderFX - iBorderFX iPhoto
    This plug-in will allow you to add a watermark and other annotaions to a photo, when you export the photo from iPhoto.

  • Can I use Photoshop Elements 10 to "add" digimarc watermarks into my photos?

    Can I use my Photoshop Elements 10 to "add" digimarc watermarks to my photos? It is only providing the option to "read" digimarcs. Can I somehow add a digimarc embedder to Photoshop Elements?

    Yes, as an PSE10 user you qualify for the free embedding plug-in.  Of course, the features of the free version are more limited than the purchased version:

    Hi,
    Can someone suggest a Software to watermark and rename Photos. I want to rename photos based on the date stored in the EXIF information of the photo.

  • PSE8 - Help with Watermarking vs Cropped Photos

    I have recently been experimenting with Watermarking, using the "Process Multiple Files" option.  It works great, except for one thing:  when watermarking a photo that has been cropped from its original size, the watermark gets cropped as well. Please see this link for an example of what I mean.
    The cropped photos have been saved as separate files from the original, so why is this happening?
    Can anyone tell me, a: how to fix it, b: how to keep it from happening in the future, and/or c:, what am I doing wrong???  Please?
    Thanks in advance!

  • Logo or watermark

    Hello everyone.  I have a question regarding Lightroom2
    and watermarks or logos.  I am a part-time photog and I have a logo that I would like to attach to my photos for proofing purposes.  I previously was using Elements and was able to add it as a layer.  Is that something that can be done via Lightroom2?  I wanted to ask before I bought the software.
    Thanks for your time!

    The LR2/ Mogrify plug in will do it with LR 2...otherwise directly from the LR 3 Beta as previously stated.

  • Can I merge multiple iPhoto libraries in the new Photo's app. This was not possible in iPhoto but is possible in Aperture.

    Now that iPhoto is 'Photos' on 10.10.3 is it possible to merge multiple iPhoto libraries. It is possible to this this in Aperture but not in iPhoto (I'm using 10.10.2 and can't upgrade until other software I use is qualified for 10.10.3). Here's the deal - I  changed my drive to an SSD and backed up my old hard drive (which had the original iPhoto library on it. I did a clean install with my new drive so iPhoto created a new (blank) library. This upgrade was done a few months ago so now I have 2 different iPhoto libraries. Note that the newer library is connected to iCloud and if I was to 'Switch Libraries' it will delete my current photo stream. There is a way to do this manually - I could switch to the old library and locate the root folders in the 'newer library', move them to a new folder and import. This procedure is awkward and not my preferred route. So if there's anyone using the new 'Photos' app on 10.10.3 please let me know thanks!

    To merge the libraries manually use "File > Export".
    To save the high quality originals, set the export panel like this, with "Kind Original":
    If you have edited versions with added titles, caption, places, etc, use these export settings to save your work:

  • How to use Multiple Logos in One Smart Form?

    All,
    I have a client where they will have 2 logos for, e.g. "Invoicing" and want the form to decide which logo to print (based on plant code).
    We are using Smartforms.
    They want to use one form and based on the plant code - the form should determine which logo to print in the upper left corner of the invoice - how do you do this?
    This is not like having text to print on the form in the same place - my understanding is the logo is NOT some variable you can "clear" in the program and then use the logo you wish to show up on the printout.
    Does this have something to do with using multiple layouts within the same form?  You define a layout for each logo and then within the Smartform logic determine which layout to print?  And if that is true - does someone have sample code of how they determined which layout to use?
    Thanks - and as always - points rewarded where helpfull!
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    Create two Graphics in Smartform window & place them wherver you want in the smart form.
    Now in Graphics node, you can find  'Conditions' tab, under this you can give the conditions.
    Hope this clue wil help you

  • Uploading multiple iPhoto libraries to new iCloud Photos

    I've used iPhoto for 10 years, and have multiple iPhoto libraries in order to manage the size and performance within iPhoto.
    I'd love to try out the new beta of Photos, and keep everything in the cloud - but I'm unsure if I'll be able to upload all of the libraries to iCloud.  Currently, iCloud / photo stream will only sync and work with one library.  I also read somewhere that once you make the switch, you cannot access iPhoto again.
    I'm just wanting some assurances that I can get all 4-5 photo libaries uploaded with no issues.  Thanks.

    I also read somewhere that once you make the switch, you cannot access iPhoto again.
    This, as of the current betas, is not true.
    However, Photos will only work with one Library in the Cloud. So if you want to upload them all then you'll need to merge them into one first.
    If you have Aperture 3.3 or later and iPhoto 9.3 or later you can merge libraries with Aperture.
    Otherwise the only way to merge Libraries is with the paid ($20) version of iPhoto Library Manager
    Remember this is beta software. It may change so be sure to have a solid up-to-date back up.

  • PS CS5 - Creating Transparent Logos for Watermarks and Overlays in Photoshop | The Complete Picture with Julieanne Kost | Adobe TV

    I created my first 'test' logo and it worked just fine...thank you.  I am trying to create an improved version, however, when I attempt to select the text to copy & paste it into the work path, I get continually get a pop-up message that "the point you clicked is not inside the vector mask of a visible layer."  I have watched the video OVER and OVER thinking that I missed a step, but....not.  I'm tearing my hair out!  HELP!!

  • Help with putting a logo on top of a photo as a web page heading

    I am new to this and stuck with what i imagine is a simple
    problem. I need to replace a former name with a new one on a
    website. The old logo has also been changed. The page headings have
    been changed also.
    I have a logo scanned as a jpg but can re-sacn it if need be.
    I need to take a photo, crop it to fit the alloted available sapce,
    and somehow combine it with the logo on top of it, with a
    transaprent background so that bi can see the photo underneath.
    But, the logo has a white background and I cannot get it to
    be transparent.
    Re the section titles I need to put in new ones as some terms
    have changed. I can remove the existing ones but don't know how to
    get them inserted back into the webpage with edit in contribute.
    I am trying Contribute as I thought Dreamweaver might be too
    complicated for me. However, I also own MS Publisher and the usual
    MS Office XP office suite. In Publisher I can make transparent
    effects over text sections, which has the logo but not its
    background showing, but it won't work with putting it on top of a
    photo.
    And, I cannot get the section headings to insert into the
    page i am editing with Contribute. Please help if you can. thank
    you.

    First:
    1. get hold of a Photoshop-like program that can work with
    layers (Photoshop Elements, The Gimp, etc.)
    2. Open your logo.jpg and use the magic-staff to select the
    background
    3. delete the background
    4. import the photo you want to use for the background (or
    open it in your pohot-program, select all and copy to your
    logo.jpg)
    5. your photo becomes the background layer and your logo the
    layer on top of it.
    6. save your original file with the layers as a f.i. psd file
    Second:
    1. in you browser select the image you want to replace
    2. use your right mouse-button to see the properties (height,
    width, path and name)
    3. now open your logo.psd
    4. adjust the file to fit the image it has to replace (height
    and with), you probably have to crop the image
    5. save your file and export you new logo.jpg, but give it
    the name of the image it has to replace
    Third:
    1. open Contribute
    2. Click File, Publish file from my computer
    3. Publish the file (make sure you have 'delete'rights on the
    website to be able to overwrite the old file)
    4. find the folder the image that has to be replaced is in
    5. publish you new image to that folder
    6. Contribute asks you if you want to overwrite the old file,
    and you want that
    7. The image has been replaced

  • SendToPrinter delays when processing multiple prints with Watermark

    Hi LC friends,
    We are running a JBoss turnkey LC ES2 SLB (Server Load Balancing) setup. We have a process where we merge .xml data and .xdp form-design to a pdf.
    The pdf with Watermark is achieved and printed once or twice. When we loop and print the 2 times - the first print is quickly BUT with the second print takes 17 seconds to process.
    This is the flow of the print routine
    *) PDF with watermark produced with invokeDDX
    1) convert PDF to postScript  (Service: LC Output > Convert to PS)     about 500 ms to process
    2) sendToPrinter     (prints first copy)     about 100 ms to process
    3) setValue     (add one to count and loops back to SendToPrinter)
    4) sendToPrinter     (Delays - then prints second copy)     about 17 SECONDS to process
    I have tried to print pdf without watermark. In this case the SendToPrinter only delays in 1400 ms. Can anyone tell me why LC SendToPrinter is waiting??.
    I would expect it just print by coping to printer, and therefore have no delay. Any ideas??
    A java custom component might be a more effective way, but would expect Adobe LiveCycle to handle this out-of-the-box!
    Help is very much appreciated
    cheers,
    Thomas Groenbaek

    Try a controlled test - create a new blank file, say 6 x 4 @ 300ppi with a white background and save it as a psd. Then run Process Multiple Files against this one file using the rename files option and with your watermark settings and see if it works on that.
