todd_torfin Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 I was wondering what I could use to speed up getting my photos on my website. Right now I open them whit Microsoft Picuter Manager and compress them a few at a time. I have lightroom, CS3 and want to be able to open a larger group of pictures and compress them for my website. Also I put a watermark on them withPhotoshop Elements one at a time. Is there a way to also add a watermark to photos a large group at a time?

seismiccwave Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 You can do quite a bit of global processing using Camera Raw in Photoshop CS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_daalder Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 In CS3 I use File > Scripts > Image Processor.<br>You can select an action as part of the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronald_moravec1 Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 File -automate-batch Write the action which is nothing more than a recording of the steps you use to process one image. Add it to the actions pallet which is next to the history on the same working pallet. http://www.layersmagazine.com/photoshop-started-actions.html http://www.layersmagazine.com/photoshop-actions.html Two links on actions Work froma duplicated file and place the completed pics in different folder. Then delete the dup folder. Experiment with one photo to make sure all is working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randmcnatt Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Lightroom will do all that. Look in the documentation for the details. We typically use LR to Export for web, CD, 4x6 proofs and finished prints - all at the same time! We've got presets for all the formats we typically use. LR will add the watermark, too, but we use VBScript with Photoshop CS3 to add custom watermarks, borders and corner logos. Adobe has manuals for VB, Javascript, and PS Actions.

godfrey Posted March 30, 2008 Share Posted March 30, 2008 Yes, Lightroom will do the whole job. Select all the photos you want to export in the Library Grid view. Go to File->Export. Set the output naming, the location you want them to be, the sizing, colorspace and file format, set the "add watermark" button. Click ok. Done. While I typed that, Lightroom exported 500 JPEGs I'd selected for use in a presentation project I'm working on. It's very easy. Godfrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevesmith1 Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Like excel which has a macro recorder is it possible to do this in CS3 ie edit an image whilst a recorder is running and then save it. If so this would save me heaps of time adding borders and signing the photos. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rich_frye Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 CS3 or CS2 File / Automate / Web Photo Gallery It actually does a pretty good job, even with 1000 photos from a wedding. If you are good with html you can change the recipe for output.
