    Batch process a watermark?

    Trying to install watermark in a large series of photos .... any way to batch process??? I use DPP and PSE 13 ... I'd assume I'd have to make all the same size, and either portrait or landscape together. Easy enough, but can't figure it out, or even if it's possible. Am I missing something?

    Compare two Monitors

    I'm getting ready to upgrade my monitor and find lots of confusion between brands, but also the "numbers and letters" ... basically, I get it, but am not high tech, so sometimes tech specs confuse with regard to actual processing application. I shoot almost exclusively stills (primarily...
