carebear Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 so, i downloaded lightroom trial this afternoon, i'm not sure i like it, as it's not user friendly and i can't figure out some simple things (including how to put images in folders, and import my iphoto libary, etc) so am looking at aperture 3 as a program (downloading trial now). i've googled adding watermarks in aperture, and it's a bit hit and miss, but, i need to create a watermark as an image. is anyone able to help me? i don't have photoshop, and it seems like i need photoshop, but as i can't figure out lightroom, i don't really wanna download photoshop to just try and create a watermark. is there any other way i can create a watermark without photoshop?

huga Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Carebear, mine is only simple, but I just use Photoscape. There is a little text option and you can choose the font, size, colour and opacity. If I have lots to do, I use Lightroom (it's an export option).

carebear Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 thanks huga. i wanted something similar to yours, in that it's barely noticeable unless you go looking for it lol on looking further, i'm on a mac and it doesn't look like it'll be compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carebear Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 maybe she is running parrallel's and so has windows also installed on her mac. i don't as i didn't feel my hdd was big enough to have both (i only have 80gb free and windows needed a fair chunk of that, and at the time i only wanted it for doing etax so i didn't end up doing it. when i look on it it says 'windows vista and 7' as supported Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

persephone Posted January 25, 2011 Share Posted January 25, 2011 You can do 'watermarks' using plain old picasa... just add text, and adjust opacity . I love lightroom... I don't use folders etc like I should , so haven't even looked at that side, but can follow most of the rest ..but cannot follow photoshop :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carebear, it's really easy in LR, it's just an export setting.

Bellatrix Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Huga, do this: Select 'New', make it something like 600x300 px or similar Type in the font you want as your WM. Flatten the layers. Then click on edit, define brush preset, give it a name and viola!! you have a watermark Bec, I feel you pain. Im longing for that 70-200 2.8 IS. I just have a little bit more to save!!
