Batch Tatooing Images

[digital_dreamer]

I have seen that XXX and game reviews sites have done it, and I would like to know who they do it too.

I would like to know if there is an application where i can put either a company logo or url at the bottom of the image.

The reason why I am asking is that one of my freinds and myself are working on a website where we are selling various products, and what we want is to stop some one hot linking the images and making look there own.

However, we don't mind people hotlinking the images in the any forum comminity as it a good away of getting some free advertising as viewers will see the URL in the bottom corner.

I would like some program that will allow me to batch process images so we can tatoo them with our URL as we have a lot of product images that we would like to process.

Can any one help?

Ive often wondered how they do that (the game review sites...not the *ahem* other sites).

I found a function is IrfanView that will at least allow me to put a text tatoo on my images. This is fine for now.

But I would like to know if there is some applications where I can put a company logo on the image as a batch process.

i dont know but a way to do it would to be slice the image up into 2 parts. 1 being well 95% of the image then set that as an image inside a table and put the 5% under that but set it as backround. nor u can put a link on it

you can run a semi-automatic batch waterwark operation with Photoshop by creating an action and record. i beleive their would be a way to make it fully automatic with PS. i would just do a goodle search for softwares, this should be very easy to find.
