Best BULK watermarker/Thumb creator? - GoFuckYourself.com

gleem · 02-25-2010, 10:20 AM

K, since this USED to be mostly a TGP webmaster site, at least when I joined in 01' I have a question I need help with, bear with me, I'm thinking out loud.

ok, I got 30k+ pics I need to make into 15 pic sets, just need the pics watermarked, resized and matching thumbs. I have come to the conclusion that no program I can find for the mac can do this easily, without needing time consuming workarounds to rename each pic and thumb to conform to the uniform naming option I need, and those that do you can't create a square thumb that looks decent or a perfectly sized watermark on the pic.

just need to take say an original pic set of 150, break them down into random pic 10 directories, rename each one "picname-00.jpg" counting to "picname-14.jpg", resize,& watermark, and have 320x320 thumbs made with no watermarks into a directory called "thumbs".

So the directories will look like this, and are always named the same from dir to dir numbered 00-14.jpg and doesn't keep counting upto 30k for the file rename:

You might wanna look at FrameShots. I can't say I have used it in that way, as I watermark the clips at time of video compression, but may be possible.

Good luck.

you really be better off writing a shell script to do this a lot quicker, using imagemagick

well I just hate reinventing the wheel, but I will if I have to.

Gonna try out the prgrams mentioned by MaDalton, & Bare first.

I handle that kind of work with custom http://www.autohotkey.com/ scripts and photoshop actions.
Yes like you said, that would be reinventing the wheel but most of the time you can't find a program to do all the things you need to do.

edit: this is a great file rename program in case you need it http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFi...ame/index.html

yes, it's a good simple program, but as far as I can see, it doesn't create a watermarked full image and thumbs, renames em and splits em into folders at the same time.

kada · 02-25-2010, 03:24 PM

faststone can rename them & resize.
it can also watermark at the same time..but you need to be familiar with that feature.
then thumbnailer gets the thumbs.

gleem · 02-25-2010, 03:32 PM

yes, but you can't tell either program to create new directories, give that dir a name add 15 pics, then make another new dir... I am gonna have to make a program I guess, too specific.

It does allow you to create new folders.

gleem · 02-26-2010, 07:30 AM

screw it, none of these things do what I need, I'm having Brandon write me a script to do it all at once
