Preparing your images to post to your blog or Facebook can be a time consuming process.
Most images need to be resized to your blog specifications and to reduce loss of quality when uploading to Facebook.
Many photographers also like to apply a logo watermark to their images in order to avoid copyright infringement as well as to be sure they get credit for the images as they are spread around by clients and fans.
Photoshop actions can be super helpful in this type of situation.
In a few minutes you can create an action that will allow you to resize, sharpen and apply a logo watermark to a large amount of images in a very short amount of time. Check out the video!

Thank you for the tutorial. I may sound like a total idiot but hey the only stupid questions are the ones that aren’t asked…how do you make a transparent logo? I copyright my photos but I do not know how to make an actual transparent watermak png file. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Definitely not a stupid question Romonia! Creating a transparent logo will vary depending on the program you are using to edit your logo. In Photoshop you will usually just need to delete the blank “background” layer in the layers palette. The program will then show a checkered gray and white background to show what areas are transparent. Saving as a PNG would simply be a matter of clicking “save as” and selecting PNG from the drop down menu. If you aren’t using Photoshop or you need additional help with this please let me know!
Thanks for reading!
This is going to save me so much time – for my blog isn’t such a big deal but for galleries it can be painstaking! And I’ve been to a client home and seen a 740px wide gallery image printed and in a frame (which of course looked AWFUL!) – which is what prompted me to watermark all my galleries!! thank you so much!
Awesome! I’m so glad to help. And yeah, that can be stressful to see your images printed using low quality files. Hopefully this will stop some of that! If you have any questions please let me know!
