I’ve got 200 images I want to deliver to a client — all processed in Lightroom 2.2. I deliver images with my signature/copyright statement [name © (2009)] in the lower left hand corner of my images — from Photoshop. But, with Lightroom 2.2, I’ve not had to go into PS on any of these images.

In PS, I do it on a layer with a customized brush and then flatten the images for delivery.

I’d like to create an action to do this in Photoshop so I can just run it on the file of 200 images.

Matt K. has a great video tutorial on how to make an action to place a Copyright watermark smack dab in the middle of an image. What’s cool about the action is that it always finds the middle of the image no matter the size of the image or rotation.

Is there a way to do the same thing BUT placing the signature/copyright in the lower left hand corner — no matter the size or configuration of the image? And, I don’t want to obliterate the image, I want a nice small line of text.

Does anyone know of a tutorial or an action I can purchase/download so that I don’t have to make my own?

I’d appreciate your help.

Thanks.

I use iWatermark for exactly this purpose.

That’s $20 nobody really needs to spend, though, Erin.

I ended up making and action of my own by looking at a video from Russell Brown

and a tutorial from Matt Kloskowski which is on the NAPP site.

Thanks for all who helped.

I’m still going to look at iWatermark because I’ve heard very good things about it.
