I learned something today, thank you. I do have a question, how do I make a picture as a watermark?

I was not aware of the copy merge until I saw this tutorial.
It just goes to show you that you can learn something everyday…if you pay attention.

and you could save that nameplate as a png and use in the lightroom print module.

When you don’t want to spoil your image with a watermark you can at least embed an invisible signature on it. More details on http://ff.im/3Rdf0

Good video. I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4 and there’s a lot to learn and this video just made this step to learning a little simpler. I use Lightroom 2 and have done the name plate on my photos and thanks to the Lightroom 2 book by Scott Kelby it’s makes editing so much easier.

Great instructional video! However, I find excess unintentional and subconscious oral noises and tongue clicking to be rather distracting.

As the norm you made a winner after all anything that makes a spark is helpful.

I found a wonderful online web application
that can do batch watermarking with multiple features. Looks wonderful.Prasad.

Great tutorial. Watermarks done right. Thanks for sharing.

The problem is, that watermark would be really easy to crop out of the image. That’s the trouble with watermarks: the really effective ones are too obtrusive, while the unobtrusive ones are less effective. But great tutorial overall.

This is great. I’ve never really explored watermarking much yet, normally just put my site name somewhere on the image and leave it at that. This inspires me to actually sit down and design something that’s unique, yet works will like yours.
Thanks! I’ll be sharing this.
