Water Marking - Taking long time

squall1977 · May 30, 2010

Just curious to see how many people have had this "problem". I shoot night clubs and just finished uploading and went to watermark my pics. I normally to a horizontal and vertical watermark. Did this at around 11am pst it is now 2:15pm...still waiting. Already went back and forth with support about this and just basically want to see if I am not alone with this "problem" so I can feel a little better...CUZ it is so frustrating.:bash:rofl

Link to your pics?

squall1977 · May 30, 2010

These are both unlisted. I never make public till they have been watermarked.

I am in the "queue" that what was relayed to me from support. "Eventually, your watermarks will process."

both are set to 'watermarking=no'

what watermark are you trying to apply? Did you use tools>many photos>watermarking ?

squall1977 · May 30, 2010

yes that is how I water mark all my pics. - tools>many photos>watermarking - Every album in that section is marked that way. Each club has a different watermark. for the first link it is dirtybottom and dirtyhort the second link is rwbvert , rwbhort. 1 pic actually has the mark in the second link but is the only one.

Same problem
I just set up two new albums of shots taken this week-end at horse events. I set both albums to watermark (Pale logo) every photo - and so far nada.

Came here to say the same thing. Been trying to change watermark for about half an hour. Then decided to remove watermarks yet they are still there.

Hi guys, the watermarking queue may need a kick in the slats. I called our Ops guys and they'll see what they can do. Sorry for the hassle!

Kick that thingamabobby, my watermark changes are non responsive also.

I think you're gonna have to start kicking a lot harder.

Andy · May 30, 2010

Hang in there, guys.

squall1977 · May 31, 2010

Checked at 6pm pst not marked still, just checked now 9:13pm pst and are marked. Andy can you give us info to help us better understand reasons why watermarking takes longer then other times. Also has there been any discussion among you guys to update watermarking, if that is even possible.
thanks

Fixed now
Hi. Just checked (5:30 a.m. my time - Atlantic) and both my new galleries have watermarks. Thanks.:D

rainforest1155 · May 31, 2010

Our systems were extremely busy throughout the day processing photos due to the holiday day weekend. That's why there were more than usual delay on the watermarks and other photo operations.

Thanks fro your patience and understanding

Glad to hear I am not the only one. I set the watermarking Monday night and still waiting.

Where is my water mark?
Hi...I have read all of the comments in the Post and I will have to say that its been two days and I have yet to have a water mark on my photos. Well one is water marked but the rest are still without, the photo sizes are not even on all sides so I know that is not it....and I have basically followed the same procedure to water mark my photos.

Can someone tell me if the "queue" takes this long? I have a very anxious model wanting her photos posted on another website, but she wants the water mark on them before they are posted....lol...not that it makes them safe but hey it makes her feel better....
