I'm a nubie.) Where can I get the AppleScript code for win XP? I've spent hours downloading and reading everyting in GraphicsMagick. I have ActivePerl, PerlMagick, etc. loaded and have no idea what I'm doing. Of course I have LightRoom. Thanks, Charles Wonderful tutorial…. but I’m a Win XP user (don’t hold it against me.

It's not necessary to write the Lightroom post-processing filter in AppleScript, though, and I think you're on the right track with ActivePerl and PerlMagick, but you'll have to learn how to write some Perl! An alternative (perhaps somewhat easier) is to install "Windows binaries of ImageMagick":http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows rather than use the PerlMagick bindings. You'll basically have to translate my AppleScript snippet into Perl and use it as your post-processing filter. Here's an _idea_ of how it might be done, but I haven't even remotely tested this. You should avoid using paths with spaces in them for where you place the ImageMagick binaries and your watermark image if possible. <code lang="perl"> #!/usr/bin/perl my $IM = 'C:\ImageMagick\bin\composite.exe'; my $watermark = 'C:\Documents and Settings\My Username\My Documents\My Pictures\copyright.gif'; if($#ARGV gt -1) { foreach $arg (@ARGV) { qx/$IM -compose Over -gravity southwest "$watermark" "$arg" "$arg"/; } } </code> I wish you luck!

if($#ARGV gt -1) {

I wish you luck!
