			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;">I know how you feel. You have reached this page as you want to know <a href="http://simplyblackandwhite.net/2010/01/26/how-to-batch-process-signatureswatermarks-using-lightroom"><strong>how to batch process Signatures/Watermarks using Lightroom</strong></a>. I have been faced with the same dilemma before and I spent days finding a solution for it. Now, let&#8217;s get this party started.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">To batch process signatures in Lightroom, there are two programs that we need aside from Lightroom.<br />
1. LR2/Mogrify &#8211; a LR post-process plugin that can embellish your images as they are exported from Lightroom (<a href="http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lr2mogrify.php" target="_blank"><em>more info here</em></a>)<br />
2. ImageMagick &#8211; a collection of powerful, freeware command line utilities for processing images and LR2/Mogrify uses this to process the Image (<em><a href="http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows">more info here</a></em>)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once you have downloaded, LR2/Mogrify and ImageMagick, follow this link for the<a href="http://www.photographers-toolbox.com/products/lr2mogrify.php?sec=install" target="_blank"> installation guide</a>.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Here is our checklist:<br />
1. <strong>Adobe LightRoom</strong> &#8211; check!<br />
2. <strong>LR2/Mogrify</strong> &#8211; installed!<br />
3. <strong>ImageMagick</strong> &#8211; installed!<br />
4. <strong>A lot of photos</strong> &#8211; check!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Now, you have edited your pictures and ready to &#8220;own&#8221; it (I meant,watermark);<br />
1. Select the photos that you want to export and watermark.<br />
2. Click on File then Export  (Ctrl+Shift+E)<br />
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.</p>
<div class="mceTemp mceIEcenter" style="text-align: justify;">
<dl class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 510px;">
<dt class="wp-caption-dt"><a href="http://simplyblackandwhite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Lightroom.jpg"><img class=" " title="Batch Process Signatures/Watermarks Using Lightroom" src="http://simplyblackandwhite.net/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/Lightroom-1024x773.jpg" alt="Batch Process signature in Lightroom" width="500" height="347" /></a></dt>
<dd class="wp-caption-dd"><em>For now, let&#8217;s use &#8220;Text Annotations&#8221; to add watermarks. Click on the &#8220;Text Annotations&#8221; 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.</em></dd>
</dl>
</div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">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!</p>
