Hi there,

I do freelance photography for some local newspapers, and I provide them with proofs via a web gallery. I do add the filename as the first part of the photo caption, but the editors aren't seeming to notice this. So instead of a nice email saying "I'll take Filename_01, Filename_17, etc" I get "I'll take #3, 7 and 19" which sends me back to the web gallery to manually count out which photos they want, check the file name and then find the appropriate TIFF. It's frustrating for both parties (I can't imagine they like counting either).

Is there any way to batch watermark photos with the filename? I have Photoshop CS, BreezeBrowser and am currently use Album Creator 3 to generate the HTML proofs.

It seems so useful that there has to be a way to do it, but I am at a loss.

Any help would be very greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Heather

if your proofs are in jpeg format you can try betterjpeg:

It can stamp file name to images (without recompression).

This may well do it. It seems to have many bells and whistles

Just checked, it does do it.

Thanks. I actually found out that I can do it using BreezeBrowser. Placing "@fileNoExt@" as one of the watermarks gets me the filename without extension, and I believe that @file@ gets the full filename with extension.

Thanks again for your help.
