After much fiddling LOL....

Wow Julia - your photos look amazing

do we post here or on the link.
just finished editing, but sorry wont upload till another day. Going to bed, ready for full week of work

Gis. Upload any trial ones here if you'd like some feedback.
If you're confident with what you've done, use the link to post it in the gallery.

***note for all***
Its your best 3 that go in the gallery and once an image is in there, it can't be swapped out for another. So use this month for practise, post them here for help, or ask for help if you need it and GO. FOR. IT.

cheers

Julez.

They are a bit large. I notice them first before looking at your shot.

Think of watermarks as discreet advertising of your name. So smaller and drop the opacity to 'meld' it into the shot.

And, unless you are a photographer, don't advertise yourself as one. You are implying that your business is photography.

Also have a go putting the watermark on your layouts. The size you have at the moment will cover too much detail of the LO.

All being said, you are first cab off the rank and giving it a shot. Everyone else will pick up on these tips as well. So congrats, you are an achiever.

Thanks for your comments Tiff...will have another go

Is this better??

yeah i found some spare time this morning and this is what i did on weekend.
i adjusted my watermark action, still working on the action. i think the watermark with the white edge is the one to go.
also put a frame to the photos while i was at it lol

Gis. I suggest you lessen the amount of opacity. Its nearly too faint to read.

And again, same as Julez, I suggest you remove the word photography. Unless photography is your mainline business, to advertise that you are when you are not is false advertising.

And it would really annoy the 'real' photographers in your area.

Also think of watermarking your LO's as well when you put them on line.

oh and use the watermark in one spot on every image. It makes it uniform and generic for your work. And less time fussing over it on your end.

t

Julez. Much better.

I would even remove the date so the watermark is more generic for every image and LO you use it on. People don't need the date on it. That's something that you only need to know. Keep the copyright symbol instead.

Which is better? different font but same opacity...

first one for me.

Are you going to leave the watermark in the same spot for every image.

I'm thinking that if you wanted to do a 'batch' of images, (ie more than two at one time) decide on one spot for the watermark and leave it there. For ever and ever. Looks uniform and more organised that way.
