Photography Frames Part 3 (of 3) - Final Action

As promised, here is how to put both Actions previously created (here (1) and here (2)).

This step is critical into making the frame and logo/signature placement truly automated for Batch Processing.

D5000

Well, it's official. I'm part of the Nikon D-SLR club. This is one of the reasons of the planned Flickr re-upload and one of the reasons I spent so much time designing and developing a signature gallery frame for my online pictures...

Speaking of which, Part 3 is going to be up tomorrow... I promise...

It's a Nikon D90 lite D5000 with the Nikkor 18-105mm... very nice lens for a very nice camera. Expect my Flickr to start booming in a few weeks.

Time for me to get back on reading the booklet. The monster is 256 pages!

Photography Frames Part 2 (of 3) - The Signature

Here is the second part of the... uh... I guess you could call this a "tutorial"... Photography Frames.

This time, I'm going to cover the exact method on how to create the Actions that's going to insert a Logo or Signature and position it at the bottom-right corner of a photo.

Photography Frames Part 1 (of 3) - The Frame

As promised, I'm going to post an easy to make a frame that's a bit higher than wide in order to have some place for a signature or logo.

The basics of the method is borrowed from an old Layers Magazine tutorial. I'm just going to cover the bare bones of the technique. You will probably adjust the parameters for your own needs.

This post is only going to cover the actual frame. Following posts are going to cover the signature and then how to put it all together and why.

"Frame" Saga Success!

I've done it. Regardless if a picture is landscape, portrait, or a 4:1 panorama of any size, I have a set of Actions that, during a single Batch automation, creates the frame and place/position the watermark signature at the exact place it needs to be. The images above is the proof.

During the weekend I will post about how I made the frame and how I automated the whole watermark-signature placement.
