Title: Can I add sponsors logos to prints?
Post by: tonyboat on August 08, 2012, 11:41:26 AM
Next week I am printing ten images from the days regatta, for a pro photographer, each day for eight days.The photos will already have his signature added. How can I add two sponsors logos as well?

Without any more detail about the logos, I will assume they have some graphic included.
I was asked by someone to add a logo in a similar situation.
What I did was scan the logo (if it was obtained from some printed matter) or if they gave me a file with the logo, I would use the Qimage editor to crop and downsize until I had what I needed.
Then with my main print in the queue, I switch to Freehand mode, and drag my logo.jpg on top of the main print.
I can position it exactly using the Page Editor.
If this will be needed again or often, make a template and save it.

Fred,
Thank you for replying.
I did not realize that you could make a template incorporating images.I use layouts all the time with the signature already in place.
I am required to incorporate two logos, which I have the files for, and the photographers signature on to A4 pictures into frames. Ten different pics each evening after the days event in time for the prize giving for eight days.Always a rush.
So I can just size the logos and position them in the layout. Do I need to make a portrait version and a landscape or will they rotate as when you use just a signature?
Thanks for your help.
Tony

I never saw any template rotate signatures or preset locations when the images changed orientation.
The words and the orientation stay as you saved it.
Easy to make one for portrait. Just set the floating text to a 90 or -90 rotation and the text/signature will rotate, and you save that as a template too.
