I haven't watermarked photos since using iPhoto, and realized that my old Impressions app won't work with Photos. Can anyone suggest a program that will work well with Photos for watermarking? Thanks!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.0.x)
Right now there are none. For a 3rd party app to be used with Photos the developers have to provide a plugin for Photo that will let it be used. Right now there are none that I know of.
To watermark a photo now it has to be exported out of Photos and edited with a 3rd party image editor or watermarking application.
FCP? Export as a JPEG or PNG!
That's what I was asking for - a watermarking app - can anybody recommend one?
Well, it is not free, but I use Lightroom.
I started using it for that, but also because I felt there was a 50/50 chance that Photos might be a retrograde step when introduced and in due time or with a new computer I might need to switch totally to a third-party product. The jury is still out on that one.
The bonus is that edited results for many pictures appear to be better in Lightroom. I copy pictures from iPhoto to an external drive, import them to Lightroom, export with the watermark back to the external drive then, if necessary, re-import them to iPhoto, deleting the original if I want to do that.
Needless to say, I watermark quite sparingly.
Well, you did ask...
There is software to remove watermarks, some will add them also.

None work with Photos. They all require that you export from it.
I have Impression. I opened it yesterday and couldn't drag and drop the photos from Photos to it like I did with iPhoto. It just won't work. That's why I thought I needed something else.
Export the photos from Photos: File -> Export
Then bring them to Impression.
I did that. Impression won't highlight in the finder as a place I can export to. It's just not working for me, so I wanted to know if there's a program that DOES work.
Impression isn't a place. You export from Photos to the Finder. Then add the photo to Impression from there.
OK, thanks. I just did a test by exporting a photo from Photos to the desktop, and was able to drag it to Impression from there. Then I guess I have to export it back to the Finder or Desktop and put it in an album in Photos after that. What a pain. Going through a lot of photos where I watermark one at a time will take forever, but at least I have a way to do it now. Can't wait until they come up with a better way. Wish the drag and drop would work with Impression. I also had a problem dragging and dropping a video to YouTube from Photos, and had to upload that manually, ugh.
Can anyone suggest a watermark program for Photos?
