Hi. I deal with about 2000 photos a month for a website and I was wondering, instead of me going out and manually adding PROOF to the photos is there a way for batch process to do it? People are ripping off the photos of the webpage (even at 78 kb size) and, since I’m on a Mac, I can’t use those programs that lock the site for no printing, file saving, etc. I want to add proof across the photos in big letters.

Any help would be apreciated!

There is no way to keep an image from being grabbed, PC or Mac. The methods you hint out only deter the honest people 🙂

Since Elements doesn’t have recordable actions, I know of no way to automate the process you seek.

You could do it easily with PhotoShop, assuming the pix are the same pixel dimensions.

They are. They are sent throught Batch process to resize them.

You record an action, doing your proof text thing on one image.

Then you use automate/batch menu to play the action back on entire folder of images, will do them all while you have a snack.

Again, images need to be same size for the steps to work exactly the same on each image.

No prob…
Just read how to record an action and play it back.

Practice on a couple and etc. Be careful and don’t overwrite your origs. I’m sure you have them all backed up, eh?

Take a look at the thread "How do I prevent people making copies of my jpegs" dated April 9th 2004. It may be useful.
