writing slogan on pictures

hi guys

i have 1000 wallpapers on my computer . i will upload it to my web site . i want to write my url on all wallpapers.


yes i hear many of you. you are saying "use adobe" but it's very difficult repeat 1000 times. is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks

 

Hi,

You can do it easily enough with Photoshop by making use of the batch processing feature - File->Automate->Batch.

Depending on how you display the wallpapers on your site (I'm thinking from a database) you could set the wallpaper as a cell background using CSS and have a transparent GIF with your URL as the cell image.

 

Did you want each wallpaper to be marked with a different type of text? If so there is really only one way to do that, and Adobe (Or like editing software), and time are two things you should have.

 

Look for watermarking scripts, there's quite a few. There are some that are strictly text-based and others that allow images, even with masks.

 

You can do this dynamically with scripts that use GD - do a google search, as sketch said there's some out there already

 

the batch processing will help you a lot

 

Also make sure whatever script you find or create has the option to save out the files... most of the watermarking scripts I found only add the watermark dynamically, meaning slower file loads every time.

 

ya i'd batch it

 

It'll take ages to open up and add a slogan to 1,000 wallpapers...i'd follow the guidelines above about using something like GD to add an automatic watermark

 

i feel it is easier and time saving to try scripting techniques.. using GD or imagemagick.. u could get custom scripts to embed text onto images.. do a google search and u will find tons of info..
