Watermarking two thousand pics....
 

this is gonna take a while... what can i do for 7 minutes?

is there a software that can make it faster?

yeah actually i was doing it with software... i did them all at once time with acdsee...

i killed teh 7 min by bsing on GFY though lol...

You should use Arles and batch process.

didnt know there was a program for this, thx

I will second this motion for Arles.. My have to shut down other programs if you don't have enough memory

2,000 pics in 7 minutes isn't bad at all! Nice work.

Arles is fantastic, but acd is great for viewing.

my comp is gooood! :)

We use Eyebatch and LOVE it... resize, rename, add watermarks, change image type, all sorts of other cool stuff...

acdsee did it rather quickly AND i was able to select directories... which made it easy bc i have my content organized in dirs and so by selecting a group of DIRs it watermarked Everything inside.

love acdsee :)

Acdsee is nice software, but the versions above 5.0 are total trash. Millions of functions, but basic functionality for browsing and thumbnailing (checked on a disk with 50.000 pics) wasn't impoved much. Plus they don't 't show animated GIF with correct timing, lot's of small glitches.

Actually converting back to XnView

Whats the best freeware program for this?

do it on the fly with php , doesnt take any time at all :) plus you can change watermarks depending on if your pic is hotlinked or not.. :) hit me up if your interested.

( i.e. small watermark normally but if the pic it hotlinked a bigger watermark is applied )

heres an example of one created and watermarked on the fly ( notice the smokey watermark , refresh the page and you will get a new watermark.. and notice the second picture will randomly rotate )

Use "actions" in the Photoshop. That'll automate the process and those 2,000 will be done within about 5 minutes.

or you could do both randomly on the fly like this

shes still hot! :)


U know about acdsee... once thing i noticed that is fucking STUPID is they FORCE the file extensiont to be capital...

so when the file went it in it was like blah.jpg and came out blah.JPG.

Thats fine if ur a windows user, but if i upload that shit to my linux based server its a Totally different file. SO i had to batch rename after lol.

i dont really like the way ps compresses jpegs.
