Watermarking photos

You probably got sent here because you tried to execute "watermark.sh" on your PC (MacBook) and you still need to install some programs before that can work.

Here's what you need to do:

install basher & splashmark

Open a terminal window (Apple-Space and type 'terminal')

Now you need to type the following lines (only the ones that don't start with #)

# first we will install BASHER - package manager for bash scripts
# procedure explained on https://www.basher.it/ or https://github.com/basherpm/basher/blob/master/README.md
curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/basherpm/basher/master/install.sh | bash

# now open a new bash session, so that the basher scripts can be easily found
bash

# let's test if basher was properly installed
basher
# expected output:
# Usage: basher <command> [<args>]
#    
# Some useful basher commands are:
#       help        Display help for a command
#       commands    List all available basher commands
#       init        Configure the shell environment for basher

# let's install splashmark, which is need for the watermark.sh script
basher install pforret/splashmark

# to test if the installation worked, just type splashmark, it will give some usage info
splashmark
# expected output:
# Program : splashmark  by [email protected]
# Version : v3.5.0 (Apr 14 21:33:20 2023)
# Purpose : Mark up images (unspash/pixabay/URL) with titles, effects and resize
# (...)

# install the requirements
# On Linux (Ubuntu)
sudo apt install exiftool imagemagick jq
# on MacOs
brew install exiftool imagemagick jq

Configure your watermark

Put the watermark.sh script in the folder of your exported, but not yet watermarked photos. Make sure that when you double-click the .sh script, it will open with the terminal program

If your computer opens .sh files with a text editor (as is the default), then choose Terminal via the 'Other...' popup. Terminal is located in the 'Utilities' subfolder of Applications.

Open watermark.sh with a text editor.

Change the photographer name to what you want.

Watermark your photos

Put the watermark.sh script in the folder of your exported, but not yet watermarked photos. Double-click the watermark.sh icon. A Terminal window will pop up and start executing the script.

Watermarks will be added like this
