xBhp Announcement:Watermark your pictures

[ketan_r15]

1) Got the logo from xbhp.
2) Initially I was ready to put just xbhp logo but then edited it and put my name with the logo. (software - MS Paint)
3) I opened the logo in Irfanview.
4) Press Ctrl + C --> This will copy the logo from Irfan view.

5) Open the image u wish to watermark in MS Paint.
6) Click on the select tool and mark an area in the image.
7) Press Ctrl + v --> This will paste the logo u copied from irfanview.
8) Initially the logo will b along with the white background. To make it transperent click on the options on the left hand side.(at the bottom of tool box)

9) The logo is now transperent. Now move it where ever u want to place it.

10) Save the image and it's done.

Time taken approximately 30 sec.(for me)

MODS, why don't you guys give the xBhp logo here so that everyone can get it and use it for watermarking???

|The logos we find on xBhp pages are either not clear or too small for watermarking big pictures...

All, FastStone Viewer - FSViewer is probably the easiest tool for batch processing and simple editing. It is very good and does a lot of functions for your photos. Even if not batch processing anything, you'd probably love to use it for any of your photo viewing tasks.

^^ lolz .. it would be invisible to other city riders

lol.....

btw what brought me to this thread was that i saw some posts in other site and was kinda shocked
i thought am i in xbhp
same user names
same comments word to word

but thought that the same people would be copy pasting their comments in other site also
and normally people tend to have common user names everywhere

still i am thinking am correct or not !!

Hello there, here is another simplest way to watermark the pics with xbhp logo
this seems to be time consuming, but is the quickest among all.
So to start with..
First of all download this image and save it to your pc


1) Open both the images ( xbhp logo one and the pic to be watermarked)


2)click on the rectangular tool pointed below and cover it over the logo to make a rectangualr block around it as shown below


3) Now click on the move tool and drag the logo to the pic to be watermarked as shown under


NOTE: the auto- select and the show transform Controls check boxes should be checked with the move tool selected.



4) Now use the magic wand tool and apply it on the white area around the logo, the white area will get selected




5) now just press ctrl+x to remove the white area around the logo

the logo might look grainy due to defferent pixels of the main pic, move or resize the logo according to your need (by using move tool) and apply it

when you zoom this pic or see it after saving
the logo will look like this



6) Voila its done

I am here to help if you stuck anywhere

there are watermark softwares that do for batches.

in PS you can watermarking as an action.

i do watermarking thru LR.just save the logo under a transparent background as a PNG,in LR in the slideshow section,apply this as identity plate and export them..easy and fast batch watermarking.

Hey Varun thanks for helping poor souls like me. It was very simple and easy to understand.
Ok now a few doubts.
1. U said NOTE: the auto- select and the show transform Controls check boxes should be checked with the move tool selected.. What does this mean? I use Photoshop Elements 7.0. I couldnt find this anywhere. However without bothering about this i carried on with the procedure.
2. I used the magic tool. I clicked and dragged wherever there was white background. After saving the pic i could still see some white part left from the xBhp logo. . What should i do? I even ran it all over the xBhp logo. Still didnt help.

Next tutorial, Watermarking with our names or any other text.

No problem, if you carried out without considering them, them dont worry
and regarding the white area

use this logo for watermarking, it will remove all white area from the picture
