watermark creation?

[lawrenceots]

I need to apply a watermark to a lot of images for online.. I've got CS5, what would be the best way to do this? I'm assuming batch processsing would obviously be involved..? Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks

One way is to use the type tool, set a bit of bevel/emboss and then reduce the fill to 0%. You could set that as an action. It depends on how complex you want to be. I think the only problem you might encounter is if you run the batch action on images of vastly different sizes. If most of your images are of a similar size, it should run ok.

Also run an action to embed your details in the file info. Unfortunately if you 'save for web' I think it doesn't save but if you just save as a .jpg it remains.
