Batch Watermarking At The Bottom Of An Image

If your are content with a fixed height and assuming you are using a solid background as Starpulse only with your logo....

1) Create a *.PNG file with a white background, only make the image width wider than any of the pictures you plan on watermarking - 50px high by 1024px wide, for example. Paste your logo in the center of it and save it.

2) Download a free program called FastStone Photo Resizer. Load the file above into the watermarking option and position it as bottom-center then do your batch. You can also use the canvas size option to add the extra space of the watermark image to the bottom of the pictures so the watermark doesn't take away from the image content.

You sir, unwittingly, just emptied a huge load off my ass!

Faststone FTW! I saw it after reading this thread and have already got it in action!

Fuck Photoshop Actions :p +rep

I'm curious - why would you want to title them like that rather than watermarking? That would be very easy to remove by cropping the image.

Because I am not trying to stop content theft. I am just trying to make sure that when people hotlink an image - anybody who views the image knows where the content came from.

If people are going to steal this content, it's going to be extremely easy regardless of what I do to these images as the content is not mine to begin with anyway. I think watermarks on the image can make them look quite shite and in some cases will just ruin the photo completely. I'd rather somebody steal my images than have a poor user experience.
