Easily Repeat Adding Watermark to opened images?

[TroyTheTech]

Just wondering if there was a way to easily automate adding a Watermark (logo) to opened images (either during importing/opening them or after).

I did some Searching, but all I am finding are results related to Scripting or Recording Steps.
Although the recording steps seems close, for now I have been saving a 'Template' (PSPIMAGE file) with the desired watermark (logo) on a layer with no other images on any other Layers (Transparent background). Then I copy the 'Template' after opening it, go back to my initial image and Paste it as a New Layer in my desired image.

Can't all of this be done in one step... say a Menu Option that lets me set a Watermark/Logo, where later on (when I want to use it), I can just pull-down an option that says "Brand with Watermark" and it's all done in one go?
No opening other images, no copying, moving back to the image, pasting, etc?

Thanks for any ideas

You could save your watermark as a brush and then apply it your images.

That's what a script does. It lets you just run a bunch of commands all in one go after you've recorded the initial setup. Now PSP uses Watermarks more as a final step. The Watermark command, for instance, merges the image into a single layer before applying the watermark. The easiest way to add a watermark is the watermark command, but if you want the watermark on its own layer then this command is not the way to go. If, however, you don't mind the watermark and the image being merged together, I recommend only using this command in a batch process or at the end of each image edit just before you save it.

The watermark command is very easy to use. It lets you tile the watermark, center it, place it in a corner, size it, and adjust opacity. It's not the same thing as opening the image and custom placing it, but it's the easiest method. The watermark command can also be recorded as a script for quick one click action. Or to be used in a batch, or as an image pre-processor.

Second easiest is to record a script with all of the steps, opening an image, copying it, then closing the image, and pasting the image as a new layer. It will always center the watermark. And have predifined opacity. And always the same size, even on smaller images. So it doesn't resize to fit. More flexibility with final size and placement, less automation.

Third method is harder, it requires more forethought and some programming. I'm guessing you'll want to leave that method alone.

Thank you for the knowledgeable replies

That's a great idea!

Then I just pick it as a Brush and click once on the image. "Pop", it's done.

THANK YOU

You're welcome.

I have a free Watermarking script that won't merge the layers and lets you use anything as a watermark.

I made a brush with my watermark.
Use
* Image > Watermark > Visible Watermark
* Find the brush in the folder where your brushes are saved
If you have a personal toolbar, add the button "Visible Watermark" to it.
You can change depth, size and transparency with each image you use your watermark on.

A script works just as fast, it's what you prefer, I suppose.
