Add watermarks to webpage photos
You can add a graphics file to your photos as a watermark to discourage others from using
your photos without your permission. Watermarks are especially useful when applied to photos
posted on the web.
Use the following guidelines to create high-quality watermarks for your photos:
•
Save your watermark as a Photoshop (.psd) file with a transparent background.
•
Create multiple sizes of your watermark so that you can select the one that best matches the
output size of the exported photo.
Note: If a watermark file is larger than the photo you want to export, Aperture automatically
scales the watermark down to fit the photo. (Aperture doesn’t scale watermarks up.)
•
After you create a watermark, save it as part of a web export preset so that you can reuse it.
Note: Export presets and web export presets are independent of one another. Make sure to
save your watermark as part of the appropriate preset.
