Watermarking Action Kit Giveaway

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED.

My first “real” giveaway here at Photography Haven, thanks to Rita, and I’m tickled to pieces because it is something that I own and use daily, so I know the winner will love it too!

I’m giving away the Premium Watermarking Action Kit from Rita at Coffeeshop. This kit works for both PSE and PS, so if you currently use PSE and ever upgrade, the action can go with you.

What is in the kit?

• Templates for making your watermark with both white and black strips across the bottom.
• Actions which add your watermark to the image plus add a drop shadow, rounded corners, borders or a Polaroid look.
• Batching actions for those with CS1-CS5 so that you can add your watermark to a whole batch of pictures instead of one at a time (sorry, PSE users, that won’t work for us).

Rita has written extensive instructions to help you through creating your watermark and how to add it, so don’t worry that you will be fumbling in the dark. And, if you have questions still, you can post them to her Flickr group, where she or her moderator will answer the question.

The kits costs $25 to purchase and I honestly believe it is worth every dime of that. If you don’t win this giveaway, I encourage you to purchase it if you don’t already have a watermarking routine that works for you. I definitely made it easy for me and I would have spent a lot of time figuring out all those techniques and then applying them individually. Now, I just open up my watermark template, click the look I want and run the action. Within seconds I have my image resized for the web, the watermark on it and I’m good to go.

To see example of the watermark, go to my Flickr stream. All pictures taken within the last month have my new watermark on them. I have an example at the bottom of this post also.

To enter the giveaway simply leave a comment telling me what kind of camera you shoot with (I’m the curious sort). You can earn extra entries by doing one or more of the following:

1. Follow Rita on Twitter
2. Follow me on Twitter
3. “Like” my Everyday Elements fan page
4. Subscribe to Coffeeshop
5. Subscribe to Photography Haven

Please leave a new comment for each entry. No, there is really no way for me to know that you did what you say you did, but I trust that most people are honest.

The giveaway will end on June 19th at 10:00 PM EST. The winner will be chose using Random.org and they have one week to claim their prize by emailing me. If they fail to claim the prize, I will draw another number.

Here is a quick example of the action that puts a border around the image and adds the watermark.

The winning number was 130, who was Vonda from Following Splendor. Congratulations Vonda! Please contact me to claim your prize. And, all those who entered, stay tuned because Rita is going to give you a special discount, which I’ll share in a separate post.

If you were here early and saw that #126 was the winner, that was before I realized that five of the last comments were after the 10:00 PM EST cutoff. I was not able to get on to close the comments due to my Internet being down and a few comments came in late. I would love to allow those in, but that wouldn’t be fair to the others who entered within the time parameters I set up.
