But what font? What size? A click on the “ Select” button adjacent to “Type” offers up a font selection window:Īfter much experimentation, I found that Impact is a great choice for copyright watermarks, I used bold and a very small font size: 10-points. I also like watermarks to be on the lower right, so the Placement can be tweaked. The company’s told me that the copyright should be exactly © 2019 MARVEL so that’s what I enter. You can produce the copyright symbol on a Mac with the Option+G sequence. Notice on the top right you can enter whatever watermark text you want. The default seems unlikely to work for anyone, as shown, but it’s a starting point: There’s then a lot of setup and configuration to get it to match my desired results. There are a LOT of filters, as you can see:įor this task, I need to use “ Watermark-Text” so I’ll just click to select it. When I say a lot of filters show up, that’s an understatement. To add it, I click on “ Add Filter” on the left side. Some days, my job is very solid! 🙂 What’s missing here, however, is that watermark on the photo.

Launch BatchPhoto and you’ll see that it’s pretty straightforward: After all, a tool designed specifically for the task is almost always better and easier than a general purpose program that has it as one of hundreds of features (I’m looking at you, Microsoft Word 🙂īatchPhoto is an easy download from the MacOS X App Store, where you’ll see it’s a bit pricey at $49.99, but let’s be honest, if you have hundreds of photos to modify, you’ll save more than that the first time you use the program. My favorite graphics program, GraphicConverter, has a rudimentary batch processing feature, but the task was a great opportunity to test out BatchPhoto on my Mac instead.

Adding a watermark, as it’s called, to one image isn’t too tedious, but when you have ten and are trying to fine-tune the result, it’s a lot of manual labor.

I’ve been working on a media campaign with LEGO and Marvel and as part of the project they require a very specific copyright notice on every single image produced.
