How to Batch Process Signatures/Watermarks Using Lightroom

26Jan10

I know how you feel. You have reached this page as you want to know how to batch process Signatures/Watermarks using Lightroom. I have been faced with the same dilemma before and I spent days finding a solution for it. Now, let’s get this party started.

To batch process signatures in Lightroom, there are two programs that we need aside from Lightroom.
1. LR2/Mogrify – a LR post-process plugin that can embellish your images as they are exported from Lightroom (more info here)
2. ImageMagick – a collection of powerful, freeware command line utilities for processing images and LR2/Mogrify uses this to process the Image (more info here)

First, you need to download and install ImageMagick and LR2/Mogrify. The LR2/Mogrify trial version available on the site is limited to export only 10 pictures so it would be best if you donate the project to get the LR2/Mogrify full version registration code. I just did and I got my registration code. You are going to envy me once you realize that exporting 10 photos at a time is a pain in the arse.

Once you have downloaded, LR2/Mogrify and ImageMagick, follow this link for the installation guide.

Here is our checklist:
1. Adobe LightRoom – check!
2. LR2/Mogrify – installed!
3. ImageMagick – installed!
4. A lot of photos – check!

Now, you have edited your pictures and ready to “own” it (I meant,watermark);
1. Select the photos that you want to export and watermark.
2. Click on File then Export  (Ctrl+Shift+E)
3. Now you should see newly added options to Lightroom export module. You will have all the options on that you can do to your images for post-processing.

Batch Process signature in Lightroom
For now, let’s use “Text Annotations” to add watermarks. Click on the “Text Annotations” to summon the panel on the right. Of course you can add more than one texts annotation. You also have the option to use graphical watermarks.

Select your desired settings for fonts, font size, position and others. After that, click on EXPORT and voila! You have now watermarked a number of photos.

You may check your exported photos now and check if the signatures/watermarks look ok for your taste. You may redo your settings. That is it! As easy as that, you will now be able to put a signature and watermark on a 100, 1000 or even 1,000,000 photos!

If you like my tutorial and you think it has helped you a lot, you BUY ME A BEER! Any amount will do.

Bill Gates Surpasses 100,000 Twitter Followers in 8 Hours

20Jan10

Microsoft founder Bill Gates joined Twitter. Welcome to the Twitterverse, Bill Gates. After 8 hours, @BillGates broke 100,000 Twitter followers.

The last time we’ve seen a new Twitter user with this kind of popularity was Oprah when she first joined Twitter. Mr. Gates proves that he is not not only the world’s richest man, but one of its most popular it. His legacy as an entrepreneur and a philanthropist are far from forgotten.

Putting the numbers together, that’s about 12,500 Twitter followers per hour, or ~208 new tweeps per minute. In reality though, Bill’s follower count escalated after Caroline’s tweet, meaning his real rate of growth is about 20,000 new followers per hour.

Kudos to you Mr. Gates!

Wikipedia is a Traffic God!

12Jan10

Wikipedia is a Traffic God!I am currently trying out something in Wikipedia to drive traffic to my site. I am pretty sure a number of people knows about this. I actually just copied what another person did on a Wikipedia article and it is currently driving traffic to one of my articles. Who would have thought Wikipedia is a Traffic God! Sent from SEO Heaven to save my slumping earnings.

Currently, I am still zipping my mouth about this “technique”. I am currently on the 3rd day of my experiment and it does work. So far, SO GOOD! SO SO SO GOOD! Will have to see if Wikipedia will be able to detect it or not. I honestly think it won’t be but that is still part of the experiment. Hopefully, more traffic means more Adsense earnings. ^_^

Stay tuned!

Facebook.com Causes 20% of Divorce’s

10Jan10

Today, as I was doing my usual rounds,  I learned that Facebook was named in 20% of divorces filed in the United States. The data was provided by the online research group Divorce-Online which is ran by Mark Keenan. He searched the keyword “Facebook” out of 5,000 total divorces and found 989 occurrences.

I had the same problem with a social networking site back in high school. My girlfriend broke up with me due to Friendster. Since she knew my password, she logged in and found out I was sending personal messages to chick I barely know. Eventually, she broke up with me. Can you guess how? She broke up with me through an email she sent using YahooMail! I felt sad because of the breakup but it was funny how the Internet played a big part of that breakup. I was stupid back then, less stupid now.  ^_^

It’s not really the Internet or Facebook or any other Online Social community, it’s stupid people doing stupid things on these sites.  Social networking sites are just the doorways for wives/girlfriends to reconnect with old friends and past lovers. Now it is left to you, to decide if you will opt to do stupid things. As the internet evolves you will see many more social trending but hopefully with less negative connotation as this one.

The Internet is great, really great! I spend most of time in the Internet and my life revolves around it. However, we have to admit that the internet holds powers we are just now starting to un-cover and we are stupid if we don’t recognize that we are in the face of a discovery, always have been.
