Adding a watermark to your photos is an essential step to protect your creative work and maintain ownership. With Adobe Photoshop, you can easily add watermarks to multiple photos at once, saving you time and effort. In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of watermarking multiple photos in Photoshop.

Step 1: Prepare Your Watermark

Before we begin, you need to create a watermark that represents your brand or includes your name or logo. To create a watermark:

• Open a new document in Photoshop.
• Add text or import your logo.
• Adjust the size, opacity, and position of the watermark as desired.
• Simplify the watermark layer by right-clicking on it and selecting "Rasterize Layer".

Step 2: Create an Action

To apply the same watermark to multiple photos efficiently, we will create an action in Photoshop:

• Open one of the images you want to watermark.
• Select "Window" > "Actions" from the menu to open the Actions panel.
• Click on the "Create New Action" button at the bottom of the panel.
• Name your action and assign it to a function key if desired.

Step 3: Apply Watermark to Multiple Photos

Now that we have our action set up, let's apply the watermark to multiple photos:

• Create a new folder on your computer and copy all the images you want to watermark into this folder.
• In Photoshop, go to "File" > "Scripts" > "Image Processor".
• Select the folder containing your images as the "Select Folder" source.
• Choose a destination folder where you want to save the watermarked images.
• Tick the "Resize to Fit" option if you want to resize the images during the process.
• Check the "Run Action" box and select the action you created earlier from the dropdown list.
• Click on the "Run" button to start processing.

Step 4: Review and Adjust

After Photoshop finishes processing all your photos, it's time to review and make any necessary adjustments:

• Open a few watermarked images from your destination folder.
• Check if the watermark position, size, and opacity are satisfactory. Make changes if needed.
