All you have to do is follow the steps set out in Part I on this site - until you get to Step 5. Second, the technical: You will need a “mark” for the plugin to place. For the greatest protection, we have to put the mark right across the center or on a face - someplace essential and difficult to clone out. This will let printers know it is a copyrighted image but it won’t protect us from those who will scan our images at home and crop them to take the mark off. So, when I choose to mark them, I try to do something subtle, like putting my name and either the word “copyright” or the “©” symbol in a lower corner. I find it tough to plop something on it that will make it more difficult for the viewer to suspend disbelief and truly engage the image. I work hard to perfect my artistic vision. In this tutorial, I’m going to write about the two Photoshop plugins I use to batch mark my images.īut, before we get to the plugins - a few preliminary points - one philosophical and the others technical.įirst, the philosophical: I still have difficulty “defacing” my photos with a watermark. It works, but it’s a lot of work.įortunately, others have done the heavy lifting for us. However, doing so is a bit complex because we need to create an action that will resize and place the mark where we want it on images of different sizes and orientations. One of the most common is to create an action. There are lots of ways to batch process a mark. That’s where “batch processing” comes in. But, when we have a big job, a lot of images we want to protect all at once, it’s not the way to get the job done. Using the brush, one image at a time, works well. In the last post, we created a “brush” to use when signing or placing a copyright notice on our images.
