Question Watermarks

Would like to hear the easiest way to add watermarks to my images. I can do in Photoshop with Placing a set watermark with each image. Maybe there is an easier way?

Thanks,

Lightroom has some great watermarking tools, you can also use actions in photoshop to speed the process...

There are all sorts of watermark creating actions out there. A quick Google and some experimentation will surely let you find one you like.

NAPP also has a the watermark creator action available only to NAPP members.

Lightroom's native watermarking capabilities are quite limited, but there is a plugin called Lightroom Mogrify that is quite respectable.

If I see watermarks over pictures I hit the back button.

I'd suggest not watermarking unless you absolutely have to. And even then that wouldn't be the version I'd post on a forum where I want others to enjoy viewing the image.

I usually make it subtle depending on the shot because I know too many people out there are trying to get credit for someone elses work, and I would rather if someone really likes my shot that they ask for it. What I like about picture shark so easy to adjust to what you want at the time
