need help watermarking images

i have some pictures , which i watermark by adding my sites name in the image .

but i have been noticing off late that people have been removing the sites name . some of them are done really really well .

can anyone please help me with this . how to add watermark so that it cant be removed .

 

Do you want to watermark the images with Photoshop or are you looking for an option to watermark the images from your website?

If they are for online, I've got a very simple free script called Automark. It's here:

You can just upload your images and your watermark will automatically be added to them. Also, you can specify images that contain a particular string in the name, ie. "_thumb", for them not to be watermarked.

Maybe that's what you're looking for.

 

or you can use imagemagick either client-side or server-side with a watermarking script to batch-edit a whoel ton of files allll at once.

Oh, I imagine you'd have to search google for that info, but since you've been unable to search these forums for the MILLION times it's been discussed here before, I'll post a link for ya:

hope this helps!

 

ya... u can u use photoshop ... or try imageready

 

where did you add the watermark in the images where it was removed? can you give us an example?

 

thanks alot for that link, very useful

 

No problem

 

use a .png image with a slight opacity

 

hehe , thanks its useful

 

as for not being able to be removed - any photo can be retouched, and any skilled Photo-retoucher with Photoshop or the GIMP can remove unwanted 'blemishes' like your watermark without a trace - but they have to essentially paint over it to do it.

What I would recommend is either a small watermark or no watermark. Simply put enough of your branding on the image so that in 3 years when they find it on their hard drive and wonder where it's from they can get to your site. Anything beyond that is childish and shows a severe lack of professionalism.

If you don't want people to have it, don't put it online.

 

Flash CS3 is the best suite software to watermark any type of images easily within a few seconds.

 

just start a new canvas, type some text that you want on the watermark, so you got a transparent canvas with some text on it and then go edit>define brush preset..

and it creats a brush for you, then just add the bursh to the image you want to watermark, and change the opacity settings.

Hope that helps!

if you want to add a watermark to a folder-full of images instantly without having to open each one up - or if you are looking for software you can install on your server to watermark any uploaded images for you, check out ImageMagick.

It's free, open-source, runs on a variety of different platforms and can easily watermark and batch edit files.

This thread is over.

 

I made a web 2.0 online watermark tool. Check it out. You might find it very useful. I'm still working on adding a lot of options to it, but I think you'll like it as it is already

Its Free Online Watermark Tool

Thanks,
