Grump! Just a note to complain to anyone who will listen that I've been
spending the past couple of days doing things I should have been doing all
along but didn't because I was too lazy and now I'm mired in mind-numbing
repetitious work that's driving me into a state of unconscious funk. Sigh. And
all of this with a hurricane bearing down. Oh, well. Once more into the breach
. . .
Anyway, in preparation for building a new website, I'm optimizing photos for
the web instead of letting Photoshop do it for me. In the past I've always put
a disclaimer on my site that my stuff is for printing, and it may look a little
off on the web, etc. Then I used Save For Web in Photoshop. This time, however,
I decided to do it right, including watermarking images, which I've
accomplished by using Digimarc, which is a Photoshop plugin that embeds a
digital watermark in your image. I got the premium plan so when I get these
images on the web, I can use Digimarc to track any unauthorized use. Pretty
spiffy.
But that means starting over with each image, and this time I'm embedding file
info (FILE>File Info) into each image before prepping it, and that is _tedious_
to an extreme. But it's the kind of thing I should have been doing all along,
as each image was escorted out of camera raw into PSD or TIFF. Sigh.
I don't want to do it! I'm tired of doing it! It's making my brain hurt! (Sound
of childish stomping of feet), but I'm doing it anyway.
Learn from my laziness. Embed file into from the git-go. You'll be a happier
person.
