Photoshop Elements 9 - part 2
GREETINGS! What a glorious weekend we had with just a touch of extra coolness from the
wind. Today it was up to 80º with a clear blue sky :) :} :> :]
I want to explore one really nice aspect of Elements where you can easily add your copyright
mark © (option g on the mac) name, "not for duplication," "proof," or anything else you might
like to add, like a location, date, etc.
It's very fast and very easy. Open up your editing space to full edit. Then go up to "FILE"
to the pull down menu and look for "Process multiple files." This will open up a new
window that allows you to do the same thing to a whole folder of images. Just choose the
folder you want to process and where you want them to land.
You can rename files, resize by pixel and resolution (which you know all about from
reading my recent oh, so educational blogs). This is great because you can't do this
(change resolution) in the Image Processor from CS4! I always wished you could do that.
Guess my wish has been granted. Thanks Adobe!
You can also change file types---say Tiff to Jpg. You can do an auto adjust
for contrast, color, sharpness & levels. The problem here is that you have no control
or preview---you can only run it and check the result.
Watermarking is also a choice. You can put in your text, choose the font, size, color and
one of three positions for the writing. The down side is you can't see a sample of the fonts
or opacity. Again, you have to run it and check the result. I did it a couple of times and
it re-ran some images because they were renamed but loose in the same folder. CS4 puts
processed images into a separate little jpg folder. But hey, it doesn't offer watermarking.
PHOTO TIP: Spend time experimenting with the multiprocessor. It's a great little feature.
It works quickly. BUT be sure you try it out with duplicates in case some thing goes awry.
BLESSINGS!
