Watermarking 4,000 photos?

[sonny_c]

I have a few photos (:D) I need watermarked. In the past I used a custom brush I created.

Now I need a totally automated way of watermarking 4,000 plus photos. I would like every photo to be watermarked in the bottom right hand corner.

What would be the best way to accomplish this?

I would use adobe bridge and setup an action in photoshop.

I would agree with this response. I have a few different actions using this method depending on what I am watermarking, personal versus commercial work normally. The good thing is that it is non destructive as it leaves your original intact. Follow the instructions closely. It took me a couple of tries the first time I made one but now it is easy.

I have ran this on a folder of approx 2500 images, walked away from the computer and came back some time later to a completed job. It works great.

It does call for you text to be made with Illustrator but you can do the same thing with Photoshop.

Thank you adblink for the link. In addition to the link you provided I also was recommended the two other links below. And with all three I was able to create an action using elements from all three video tutorials.
