Hi, I didnt know whether to put this in here or Mac Applications so i firstly apologize if its in the wrong place.

So, I updated to Aperture 3.1 last night and it seems a pretty decent upgrade. I'm impressed that syncing to flickr finally works as it should.

Now here's my tiny problem.

I like to add a small watermark to my images before i upload them to flickr. I currently have to export the image as a jpeg, add the watermark on export, re-import them into a project and upload them to flickr through aperture.

Is there anyway I can avoid the export & import process and just get aperture to add the watermark and then upload to flickr?

Your help is appreciated!
 
When I post through Flickr, I process in A3 and export a jpeg to the desktop. Then I drag the exported image to the Flickr Uploader on my dock. That app updates my Flickr. If you are exporting to PhotoShop for the watermark, save a copy to the desktop and go the Flickr via the uploader. I haven't looked into it, but I think you can add the watermark in A3.

I know you want to go directly to Flickr from A3, but this is the best I have to offer. Flickr Uploader should be available at the Flickr site.

1) click on File > export > versions
2) under export preset: click on EDIT
3) click on show watermark then pick your watermark and you're set.

Yes I know how to do that...

What im asking is for a way to add the watermark when putting the image into a flickr album from WITHIN aperture!
 
Probably not. You would need to add the watermark to the photo before you export it to Flickr, and I don't think you can do that. Maybe someone will come up with a plug-in that will do that.
