How to Watermark multiple images with different dimensions in Photoshop ?

[shalabilaaji]

Is there any way that I can place a watermark on the right bottom of multiple images, no matter what dimension the images are? I have tried using Photoshop Scripts > image processor, but it works only for images of same dimension. I want to put watermark on multiple images of different dimensions. This is the output i got.

For the first image the watermark got placed correctly, but for the second image watermark got distracted. As you can clearly see the dimensions are different. Please suggest me some solution.

The "Picture Processor" script will do this and can be found in the "PSCS Scripts" section http://www.ps-bridge-scripts.talktalk.net/

Good luck.

1. Open an image to watermark. We must have this open before we start recording an action or else it will keep opening this image and watermarking it over and over again.
2. In Photoshop go to Windows >> Actions
3. At the bottom of the Actions Palette you will see a little folder icon, click on it and create a new folder to hold you action in.
4. Once you have a folder to hold your action we need to hit the Create New Action button (next to the new folder Icon we just used.)
5. Give our new action a name and set a function key (if required.)
6. If the record button is not already depressed which it should be by default, hit it now to start recording our action. (located near the folder icon again but this time to the left)
7. Now that our action is recording go to File >> Place
8. When the dialog box comes up navigate to your previously created watermark file.
9. Hit the Place button
10. Position the watermark as you would normally have it (default is dead center) and hit enter.
11. Go to File >> Save as,navigate to where you want your watermarked images to finish up and hit save. DO NOT CHANGE THE FILE NAME if you do when you play the batch it will name all the files it saves the same over-writing each other.
12. Close the image we just watermarked.
13. when a save dialog comes up do not save the image.
14. On the Actions Palette hit stop recording.
15. Our Action is now recorded.
16. To process an entire folder of images we go to File >> Automate >> Batch
17. Select the folder in which your images are currently
18. Select the folder you wish to save the watermarked copies too.
19. Hit OK
20. Photoshop is now watermarking all the Images in the selected folder for you.

This is not going to work as the logo needs to be resized to fit each document. Each document could be vastly different in size, therefore actions can not work, a script is required to work out the placement and size of the logo so no matter what size the document the logo will appear as the same proportions and in the correct position.

The "Picture Processor" script does this.

Wrong! that ONLY covers documents of the SAME size (landscape or portrait).

Now try that withe a document that is :

600x600

1200x600

2400x800

3000x2000

Your methed will NOT work. The script WILL work.

Here's a simple solution to the resizing issue if you cant get the script suggested to work or would rather just use PSD actions so you can then create a PSD droplet.

Just make the logo you "PLACE" absolutely massive size wise (in the orginal file) so that it will "at least" be bigger width wise than the largest image you will ever be processing.  That way when you PLACE the logo it will come it at the full width of the current image.  Then it's just a case of setting a scale action to change the logo to a % of the main image width - eg 50%, or 30% etc.  Once it has been scaled you can then carry on with the usual repositioning actions to move it to the bottom right of the image. 

Basically by having the orginal logo file huge means the size of it will be constrained relative to the new image when it is placed, that way you can resize according the main images dimensions rather than be constrained by the width of the logo.

Easy solution, when you consider you're just having to add 2 things.

1. Make a larger logo file to source from

2. add an action for scaling the placed image by %

Have fun

Thank you Atiqur....that was really helpful....thanks a lot

I agree with Philip Cord. I wanted to place the logo in the right side bottom end of all the images. I was not able to place perfectly for all the images.

I have a watermark in my brushes folder. (For single photos I use brackets on keyboard to change size.) I'd like to watermark my images at the same time they're being batch processed for the internet. The size of each file is the same and size of each watermark is the same.

How do I take that brushstroke I have and transform it to something in a folder so the one batch action will go to File>>Place and do what you're writing about? BTW my Photoshop has File>>Place Embedded, File>>Place Linked. I realize this is Photoshop two years after you first posted.

This is the best, simplest walkthrough. Thank you.

Hello,

I just released my Watermark-Panel. It's for free and supports CC/CC2014/CC2015. Check it out: https://creative.adobe.com/addons/products/12780

It would be great if you can rate it and write a few words about it on Adobe Add-Ons.

Best solution is make the logo in a new document with the margin you want in the photo on the right and bottom. Then place/link this psd in the photo and align it bottom/right and you done. This will work in all photos no matter if its horizontal or vertical.

Best thing to do is make all ratios the same of the photos before doing so. So all horizontals lets say 2000px width en vertical 3500px high. This way the logo is alway same size.

in afdition i use this before i place the image to downscale them whether they are portrait or horizontal.

// get a reference to the current (active) document and store it in a variable named "doc"

doc = app.activeDocument;

// change the color mode to RGB.  Important for resizing GIFs with indexed colors, to get better results

//doc.changeMode(ChangeMode.sRGB IEC61966-2.1);

doc.convertProfile("sRGB IEC61966-2.1" , Intent.RELATIVECOLORIMETRIC)

// these are our values for the END RESULT width and height (in pixels) of our image

var fWidth = 2400;

var fHeight = 2000;

// do the resizing.  if height > width (portrait-mode) resize based on height.      otherwise, resize based on width

if (doc.width > doc.height) {

//    doc.resizeImage(null,UnitValue(fWidth,"px"));

    doc.resizeImage(fWidth, null, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER)

}

else {

//    doc.resizeImage(UnitValue(fWidth,"px"),null,null,ResampleMethod.BICUBIC);

    doc.resizeImage(null, fHeight, 72, ResampleMethod.BICUBICSHARPER)

}

Hope it helps you or others

I have folders that contain hundreds of photos each.  Each image has a unique name i.e.  001, 002, 003, etc…  What is the fastest way to,

Put a different watermark on each photo

The text in each watermark must be the name of the file name/photo

Output to a JPEG

Is there a script or an action that I can set up to automate this?

Look here: Re: Watermark Script . If you are literate in scripting, you may change this for your requirements.

Here is another way to do this. The language is in Portuguese but it's very easy to follow: Inserir marca d'agua ou logo em várias fotos de qualquer formato simultaneamente - YouTube
