Look for Script to Resize, add © text (various aspect ratio)

[Jan Shim]

Hi,

I'm looking for a script to automatically resize images to 1200 pixels and add a copyright text to the lower right corner of the image.

The resize part is easy but copyright text disappears when resizing images of a different aspect ratio.

Have you tried this? Menu Image/Watermarking/Visible watermark... scales an image you use to watermark another image. The 'size' parameter is a percentage of the width (as far as I could see in a quick check) of the target image, to size the watermark. This would change the size of the watermark for each image if the width changes, so I suppose you wouldn't want to vary the width too much.
This could be put in the batch file.
Good luck, happy processing.

I tried the watermarking approach and it didn't turn out very well. Plain text at a fixed font size works the best and cleanest.

You can use a PSPImage file for the watermark. Just keep the text as a vector and it should resize fine. At least it seemed to in my tests, I may not be shrinking or growing it as largely as you are but worth testing.

Otherwise, if you want a script to do it, you'll have to make the script intelligent.

You can take the image's new width and height, calculate size requirements, and place the text.

Thanks! I managed to get the desired result with this script (works for landscape oriented images only)

Free program Irfanview allows bulk resize of images both portrait and landscape based on longest side set to say 1200 pixels. Also allows placing of plain overlay text in any font present at bottom left, right, top or middle.

Thanks. I use Faststone's Image Viewer when I need to batch process. This script helps me automate the occasional single image I want to share on social media.
