Calling smart computer people.....

This might be odd, but...

I photograph my work on weekly basis for billing purposes and for documentation.

I'm doing work now for another shop, my photos are showing up on their website. It looks (to an outsider) that his shop is doing my fab work, which they are not capable of doing. Long story.

My question is..
Is there a way to stamp my photos when I download them on my computer? I use Mac and Iphoto and can easily do 100 photos a week. Is there a way to easily mark the photos I take somehow with "tinelement" before I burn on a disk and send out to customers?? It's a lot of pictures, 100 per week is 5200 per year. So I don't want to have to do each and every one individually. Is there a photo program I can buy?? Run them through an online program?? Just trying to protect my work, so if my pics are posted they have my name stamped on them.

Thanks for any advice!

Never mind; you said didn't want to do each one. Sorry

Photoshop can do watermarks etc. you can process a whole batch of images automatically with a few clicks. I think elements will do it too and it's like $80.

I'll look into this. Thanks.

A few options showed up when i searched "watermark program" in Google.

You will have to buy a program and process all the photos through that program in order to watermark them. It can be set up to batch, so it's done automatically to every photo you download from your camera/phone through that program (instead of iPhoto/whatever), but you will have to set up that process and use the program to process them rather than simply download them from your phone with the program you're using now.

Personally I'd rather batch and watermark on export rather import from camera keep my originals clean....


like others said just google "batch watermark OS X" and a ton of options will pop up .. the first few I looked at all had free trials and to buy cost in the 20-40 range...


read a few pages on them and download and test the ones you like the sound of best.

Thanks for the info gents.
I'll do some research now that I have the terminology. Don't mind spending a few bucks on something. Some of these builds go $100k plus. Would hate lose work cause someone is hacking my shit.

Abobe Acrobat has a watermark option in Documents.

Quick search showed iWatermark as a plugin for iPhone and Mac iPhoto.
