Include Author Name

In this howto, we will detail the usage of the following transformations:

• annotate

We want to process an image so that it is displayed with a name in its bottom-right corner.

We will use the following image:

Name Stamp

Now let us annotate it with a “name” and snap that to the bottom-right corner:

We will choose a font from the available list here. We will use Lato (f:Lato).
The default font size if 24, and we set it for completeness (s:24).
We will give the annotation a border (sw:4) so that it is legible on both “light” and “dark” imagery.
We will use a white font (c:white) with a black border (sc:black).
Put the text on the bottom-right corner, and give it 5 pixels of room from the image border (o:southest,5,5).

All you need to know about annotations

&annotate=t:Photographer+Name*f:Lato*s:24*o:southeast,5,5*c:white*sw:4*sc:black

Other Options

Blurring the border for a shadow effect

We will apply some border blur and offset it a little bit for a drop-shadow effect.

Extra information:

*sb:4 => Blur the border for a shadow effect.

*so:-3,-3 => Offset the border.

Notes on the coordinate system

The coordinate system for placing and moving things around will depend on the snapping point being used.

As a rule, positive coordinates will move towards the center of the image, meaning if the snapping point we are using right now is southeast, then a positive x value will go left, and a positive y value will go up.

In the case of a southwest snapping point, a positive x will go right, and a positive y will go up.

Below are the moving directions for the different snapping points:
