Can Anyone Recommend A Free Watermarking/Re-Sizing Software?

[JamesSeaver]

I need a good batch photo watermarking and re-sizing software.

Sorry James I do mine 1 at a time in Photoshop Elements 12...That may do it but it isn't something I have looked at, I know some versions of Photoshop do it though

I dont go in for watermarks etc but Helicon Filter 4.93 (this is a 2009 version ) which is free does re sizing cropping framing and allows text to be added to an image plus a whole host of other things

whilst not really a 'batch' marker you could make a psd layer in photoshop and keep a shortcut on your desktop.

Photoshop lets you create a 'batch droplet' (mini app) that can be applied in a batch way. Just record opening an image, adding your watermark layer (separate file), flattening, then saving the image. Then save as a 'droplet'.

Create an action in Photoshop. 

 

Set the Action recording, do all the things you want to one picture, save the action then you can point Photoshop at a folder full of the images you need batching and let it rip.

good post BP,  I forgot all about actions, saved this some time back but never used/tried it and I'm sure there must be more tutorials out on the www

But James I would ask why you wish to watermark images? Whilst I do watermark the odd picture I (and others) would probably say in general its pretty pointless.

Hi James...You could give this a try  http://download.cnet.com/TSR-Watermark-Image-Software-Pro/3000-12511_4-10976931.html

 

 you can batch watermark with picasa but I think it is a bit basic or faststone

hi,

 

I use PhotoScape for quick and more images watering and resizing. However, make sure your GAV or Layer 7 AV is uptodate and you scan the installer file before you run/execute it, since many are using alterated installers to get in backdoors to your OS.
