Konstantin's Adventures

Remember that a watermark doesn’t necessarily mean that people can’t steal your images, it just makes it a little harder.

So here’s how to add a watermark in Aperture:

1) You need to have an image as your watermark; I created mine in Photoshop. If you don’t have Photoshop, you can use any imaging software.

This is the design that I created:

I know it’s basic, but that’s all I wanted for this.

2) Save it as whatever format you like, Aperture is able to open most formats. I left mine as a .PSD file.

3) Open Aperture and go to the Aperture menu.

4) Then select Presets -> Image Export. From there you will get a

preference dialog that looks like this:

Notice halfway down there’s a checkbox that says “Show Watermark”. Click that and then Choose Image and point it to your saved watermark file. If you would like the watermark to be the same on all size images, you can leave the “Scale Watermark” unchecked. Otherwise you can check it.

Also, you can adjust the opacity of it.

5) Finally, do this for all the file formats you would export in by highlighting them one by one in the list on the left hand side of the dialog box.

Once you finish that, you’re set! All of your images will now have a watermark in them. If you have any questions, leave it in the comments.
