LR2 Mogrify Version 3.10 Available

by Victor Augusteo on July 25, 2009

The plugin we all know and love is updated. The new version is pretty much the same as the old one, but you are able to set % of width/height instead of pixels on the watermarking to make sure the watermark scales with landscape/portrait.

Version 3.00, 23rd July 2009

  • Added support for inner borders!
  • A checkbox in the outer border sections allows you to manipulate the four borders at the same time.
  • Automatic update has been improved (although you won’t see the effect until the next version…)

Version 2.20, 14th July 2009

  • Border widths can now be a percentage of the longest/shortest side.
  • Problems related to the saving of presets containing multiple borders have now been solved (I hope!).

I have been getting some question from my friends and reader on how to put a signature on your photos with Lightroom. Before knowing this technique, I used Photoshop to manually embed signature on lightroom one by one. Now with Lightroom, we can automate the process to watermark all your pictures in one go. Now lets get to this.

What do we need?

  1. Adobe Lightroom
  2. Mogrify Plugin
  3. ImageMagick
  4. Photos! Lots of em!

Now that we have all that, what should we do?

Lets do another step by step tutorial.

Assumption: You already processed your photos and have them ready to be exported through Lightroom. And you have already set up the mogrify configuration by following these steps

Step 1: Select (one or more) Pictures that you wanted to be watermarked, and click export

The free trial version of mogrify plugin only supports 10 exports at one go. Donating to the plugin will break that limitation forever. You can donate any amount of money you think is appropriate to the creator

You will notice the newly added options to lightroom export module. Click on the "Text Annotation 1" to summon the panel on the right. Of course you can add more than one texts annotation. Even graphical watermarks.

and… click export :p

Step 2: Check out your newly exported photos on your export folder

What? That was it? No more steps? Yes, that is all the steps you need to put signatures into your posts.

example of obnoxious gigantic watermarking that you should not do. No matter how great the photo is, people will get annoyed.
