You may end up overwriting your original photos. If your source folder matches your destination folder, beware. Here we’ll pick a source folder and a destination folder. You can find all of this in the upper left section where it says “process files from folder.” Now we’ve got to tell Photoshop which files we want to watermark. At 0, your watermark will be completely invisible.įor the time being, I’m not going to change anything. If you set it to 100, you won’t be able to see through the watermark (making it more like ordinary text). Opacity controls how translucent the text is. You can enter whatever name you want in the custom text box, and you can also pick a font or a different position if you want your watermark somewhere other than the bottom left. That’s where we’re going to place the watermark. Have a look at the labels section, and you’ll see what I’m talking about. We’re just going to focus on the right side. It looks pretty complicated at first, but don’t worry. When you click on it, you get the following dialog box. In other versions of Photoshop software, this would have been named “batch processing” or something of the like.

Then pick “process multiple files.” Just like the image in the right.

So where do we get started? Open up Photoshop Elements and go to the file menu. You can do everything straight out of the box. You won’t have to learn any fancy Photoshop programming techniques (you would have in previous version of the software). Mass watermarking is built right into Adobe Photoshop Elements as one of its core features. You’ll use it for almost every photo editing task you do. Most of the Photoshop tutorials I do use Photoshop Elements, so you won’t just use it once. I’ll show you how.īefore we get started, I suggest you purchase a copy of Adobe Photoshop Elements. You might as well watermark an entire folder. But why watermark just one photo? The way I see it, once you’ve opened up your photo editing software, you’re already there.
