Is it possible to change all wtermakrs in allgalleries in one go (new year coming)

I Simonius · December 10, 2014

I want to put a new watermark onto all galleries (well most) and wondered if there a quick way to do the lot?

Allen · December 10, 2014

The only way I know would be to step through each gallery in organizer.

Also update the WM in each of the gallery settings for any new uploads.

I'm curious - it looks like your watermark is a copyright date.

I don't know where you're located but I just checked the US Copyright office document at http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ01.pdf and it states:

Form of Notice for Visually Perceptible Copies
The notice for visually perceptible copies should contain all the following three elements:
1 The symbol © (the letter C in a circle), or the word “Copyright,” or the abbreviation “Copr.”; and
2 The year of first publication of the work. In the case of compilations or derivative works incorporating previously published material, the year date of first publication of the compilation or derivative work is sufficient. The year date may be omitted where a pictorial, graphic, or sculptural
work, with accompanying textual matter, if any, is reproduced in or on greeting cards, postcards, stationery, jewelry, dolls, toys, or any useful article; and
3 The name of the owner of copyright in the work, or an abbreviation by which the name can be recognized, or a generally known alternative designation of the owner.

It looks like you are globally changing your copyright statement to show next year's date. Of course you may need to comply with copyright in a different country and that might be different... I'm just wondering if you need to re-watermark all of your photos.

Hi Denise- well you're right of course - actually I was just testing it for next year and I reckoned that as I will be rearranging and efectively republishing my whole site next year then it should be OK
BUT
now the first experiment has gone a bit awry.....

I can't get the watermark to change back!!!

In the 'street colour' galery I am having trouble persuading the copyright notice to change to what I set it to
I.e. i set it to the norfolk-images- one ( a domain name I'll be using next year) and now although I tried resetting it to a difgital finger one it seesm stuck

Im hoping its jus a browser cache problem and will persevere and try restarting etc

but thanks for your input and all advice is greatly appreciated - any further discussion on this question will be most welcome

ahh loks like it's working now....OR..maybe not

this image seesm not to have it applied for example

http://www.digital-finger.com/STREET/Street-Colour/i-HjHxhKS/A

it should be only a 20% fade bottom center in white - I can't see it on any browser (the watermark)

If you are setting the watermark in gallery settings that only adds the WM to new uploads. Go to the organizer
and select what photos to apply/change the WM on and use watermark under the wrench at top left.

ah OK Allen - I'll give that a go

Hmm looks like I have to do each one individually (each photo) is that right?

(sorry for being so dumb!)

SCrap that - OH I am really so stoopid sometimes - I have to select them all first right?

what I also found confusing was that In the gallery itself if you select gallery settings and security watermarking, there is a tickbox to watermark all images in the gallery - it doesnt say new uploads only so I assumed it would do what it says i.e. watermark all images in the gallery
