    Hello,

    I have a bunch of images which i need to watermark all of them, instead doing it manually using photoshop, is there any other way so i can perform one process of watermarking at all the images at one time ??

    You should be able to batch digimark your images using photop 7+. Go to the file menu and select automate, and then select batch. After that you will set up your desired action, and then apply it to all of the images in the folder.

    I would recommend saving the new images to a separate folder and not overwriting the existing images.

    Here's a batch editing tutorial:

    I dump um in a folder on the server. Run a script that reads the contents of the folder and then loops through each image water marking it and saving it.

    It does hundreds of images in seconds. I've never published it though since it's a quick and dirty utility I use in the back room when needed.

    In any event, PHP and GD can be used. But I like th PS idea, I just have no clue how to use PS that way. :cool:

    There are many programs available to place the watermarks in a bulk fasion. Using photoshop seemed like to much work. I dont have an example as it's been a while since I used the apps. Good luck...
