(I am sure there is someone out there that has done this...)

I need to add a small logo and a little text to each of my photos.

At the mo' I manually resize the picture, cut & paste the logo, and then add the text. It can take a while when you might have 60-100 pics to go at.

Is there any s/w that can "automate" this process? How do you pro's do it?

Thanks,
Randall
p.s. I use Adobe Photoshop CS2 with Illustrator etc. Camera is a Nikon D50.

Can you not use the watermark feature in PS?

Hi Parish - I never thought of using this feature - Doh!
Is this the Digimarc watermarking you must pay for? And do you think it is worth it?

search google for free batch watermarking tools. also get batch resizing tools that can do entire folders of pics in 1 go. handy for getting pics ready to upload without having to boot up big programs like ps :)

ACDSee is a good program for batch resizing and renaming, not sure if it does batch watermark will have a look later
