The Aperture Help features tellyou to create a PSD (Photoshop) file of your watermark and add it when Exporting Version of photo. I could not believe what I was reading. I got rid of Photoshop because I like Aperture better, and now you tell me I have to have Photoshop to add a Copyright Watermark to my Aperture photo files??? Really???
There are probably lots of options. Just a quick Google search offers this

Hi
You could try the Aperture plug-in - 'BorderFX'
Will do watermarks and a host of other jobs
Enjoy

You can use more or less any image file as a watermark, it does not have to be PSD.
As an example I have just done a simple screen grab of your post, and using Aperture watermarked it at 50% and 100% opacity
Did you skips a few steps? I understand using Grab to capture the screen, but how did you import the screen into the Aperture photo version? Did you save it first and if yes, in what format; PSD? After you merge the two files, how do you position the Watermark? Your example got scramble and put a transparent version at the top and an opaque version halfway through the photo.
BorderFX works, but it is very awkward.
Sorry, I re-read your post and understand why there a two inserts, but how did you position them? I have not gotten it that far, but I assume you get Edit marks to drag and drop?
I just used the jpeg image straight from the screen grab.
Go to the export version menu
You can then select a export preset, at the bottom of the list is an edit button, which will allow you to alter an existing preset or make a new one.
The watermark function is at the bottom.
Is fairly basic, pick an image to use as the watermark and set the opacity required ( a bit of trial and error till you gat it to your liking )
As for position it's a very limited choice .
Just play about with the setting till your happy.
How can I add Copyright watermark without using Photoshop file?
