Hello, I will usually work on my pictures with Lightroom because I usually shoot RAW.  Sometimes I take pictures of my kids sports events and post to a facebook group as a service to the team.  Because one can imagen the amount of pictures of a littel football leage game are a lot and I don't want to run it through LR specialy becaus I am not shooting RAW.  Does Abode offers another program simple enough to be able to batch watermark? without feeling that you prasecing picture.

    With experimentation I found that XnView (freeware) can export with a watermark, and in a batch mode!

    https://www.xnview.com/en/xnview/

    Here is my camera-logo.png  in top-centre on an exported image (one of about 20 selected)

    You may have to play with file-sizes and watermark graphic to get perfection.

    From the 'Tool' menu-

    In the Dialog window

    -set the output folder on the [General] tab,

    -then all on the [Transformations] tab,- select and add the Image/Watermark option, choose the watermark graphic image file, and set the Location for the watermark,

    - Hit the [Go] button.

    Which version of Lightroom ? Classic or 'Cloudy' ?

    'Classic' can easily Export from JPG files and add a watermark in the export dialog. So really there is no reason NOT to use Lightroom-Classic for your purpose.

    Thanks for taking the time to answer, its in Classic. I know its easy in classic and i can export to JPGE. I am just wondering if the is a software that I can select all and click a button and done. Compare to importing pictures in to catalog then export and then delete catalog because I don't need a catalog of these pictures.
