Adding Multiple stacked watermarks to an image
What problem do you see this solving?
I am trying to add watermarks to my images with a variety of different details present. The current tool only allows a single watermark, for which formatting is highly limited. For example, I'd like the following watermarks: Image based Signature or Logo; Text Based Title and Caption; Text based Location details such as Place, City, Province, Country; Text Based Photos Details such as Aperture, Shutter, Lens, and ISO.
With the text based tool, I can only add the text details in a single line, all with the same font and font size, which creates a highly undesirable appearance. Since I can't add linebreaks or multiple fonts or font sizes within the token editor, I can't achieve a desirable format for these details. Seems to me like it would be easier to allow us to stack multiple watermarks, each with different settings. This way you could have an image watermark of a logo in the top left. Larger Photo Title and Description in lower left with smaller Location Details in the lower left on a line below the title. In bottom right, the photo details could be shown.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Today.
Though this happens every time I need to print or upload photos with the details printed on them. Currently I have to add all these details manually in photoshop, which is annoying since Photoshop can't dynamically read the metadata when adding a type layer.
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Currently nothing in Capture One works for my needs. It becomes a round trip to Photoshop for every single photo.
The only workaround I can think of is to use capture one to only add the metadata details, and add the rest in photoshop. But this doesn't really speed much up since I still have to use photoshop. It is also limited, because I need various details to appear in different places (ie. location bottom left, photo details bottom right). So I can really only use this approach for 1 set of details.
Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes.
