I am not happy with the look of my watermark on my images. I find it to be a pain in the rump to constantly have to resize my logo to make it relate to the size of the photo. I can't seem to make it look consistent and professional.

I am SUPER interested in doing a gold stamped logo on each proof and print. However, I can't seem to find a way to do so!

I'd like to be able to put names and year on wallets for seniors as well.

Anyone know how to do this? Is it done through the print lab? I use MPIX and am really happy with their products, prices, and shipping. I've used them for about 4 years.

My labs have done an over lay for the senior XX .....as to gold foil stamping...you need to find some one to make the slugs for you (the lead die stamp)...usually your signature.......the premere foil stamp maker was Vetch and I think they are still in business.....just google Vetch Foil Stamp(ing)

IIRC, there is a lab that does this. I think I saw them advertised in the back of RangeFinder. Can't remember off the top of my head.

I think this is something Millers offers (check before you jump). Bay Photo does not do this, and I haven't heard anything from them indicating they're adding foil stamping.
