What do people use to watermark pictures?

I habe been using an application called PicMark for many, many months now.
Always worked like a charm until tonight.

I watermarked a set of 19 pictures earlier tonight - no problem.
Then I needed to watermark ten more using the same watermark and now suddenly the application crashes everytime as soon as I start the process.
I tried watermarking only one picture - same problem; tried with another watermark I had used before, still the same problem.
Deleted the application and reinstalled - same problem.
Rebooted the Mac - same problem
Looked for corrupt preference files or something like that but when I do a 'find' on PicMark all that comes up is the actual application.

What else can I try to fix that problem.
I assume there is a file somewhere that became corrupt and causes the issue.

Any other free application I can use until I have this problem figured out?

Does this mean anything to anyone?

seems to me there is a bigger problem than just PicMark.

I think it's fairly obvious that the problem is some hidden file PicMark left behind that is corrupted.
The problem seems to be a bit more complex than just a corrupted file.
I tried EasyFind (which was new to me). Nice program - it found two picMark preference files and of course all the crash reports.
So I trashed everything, emptied the trash and started afresh with a new download of picMark.
Looked like everything was pristine - all my old watermarks were gone and we were back to basics.
So far so good.
But then after running the first batch of watermarks which went through OK, I got this message:


And then on the next run I was back to picmark crashing with the type of log I posted earlier.

Did the whole thing again.
Found the preference and application files for picmark; trashed them all, started from scratch, one run works, then that runtime message, next run no message, run after that picmark crashes as soon as one tries to watermark the pictures.

I'm going to run the meomory test over night to see if that shows anything.

I don't think there's anything wrong with your Mac and I believe you recently moved to Mac OS 10.6.x SL no???

It looks like it may be time to forget PicMark and find and use something else.
Yes - thus my title for this thread.

Trouble is I can't find any other application that is nearly as straight forward to use.

JetPhoto Studio was recommended, but not only is it cumbersome to just add a watermark, the watermark also needs to be an image.
For most of my pictures which I get from other people, I just want to add ©2010 Person's Name to the picture

I realize PicMark is an older PPC application; doesn't look as if it's even still supported by the developer, but I have used it with 10.6.4 without any problems until yesterday with my Mini.

I also have a laptop running 10.6.4; tried it on that.
I do get the "runtime" message first time I use PicMark, but no crashes, at least not so far. A bit cumbersome to move the picture files to the other Mac, mark them and then move them back, but it's a work-around for now.
Something obviously changed somehow in mid-stream.
I haven't added any applications or made other changes to the Mini.
I also thought a corrupt preference file or something like that was the culprit as Chas_m suggested, but trashing all the picMark files and starting again didn't resolve the problem.
I also tried using ImageWell to watermark, not very good either, but interestingly enough, it crashed as well.
So I assume it's a common denominator between at least those applications.
If not the Mini, maybe the program that lets me run PPC applications on this Intel Mac???

In any case, I might as well run the memory test during the night to give the Mac something to do while I'm sleeping.

And another tidbit - I googled EXC_CRASH (SIGTRAP) - lots of hits, lots of people with that issue (whatever it is), but no wspecific cause or solution that I could find.

Other than the crashes with PicMark and ImageWell, my Mini seems to be humming along just fine.

Just a thought... Are you using and installed the last 2.2 version of PicMark?

The 2.2 download at the macupdate site is actually v. 2.1, but the 2.2 version is available from the url provided in the comments.

DigitalCalamity - Applications

The version readme says some bugs fixed etc.

The picmark readme says:
PicMark
Version: 2.2
Date: February 21, 2005
Requirements: Mac OS X

but the creation date and 'about' is shows 2007.

Originally I was running 2.1, just ported over with MA.
Then yesterday, after the problem started, I downloaded 2.2; same problem.
Then when I trashed everything and downloaded "2.2" from the net again, I actually ended up with 2.1 as you noted.
I just trashed everything related to PicMark again and downloaded 2.2 from the other site you posted - same problem.
Can't even get one run in, the application crashes as soon as I start the process to watermark.

Same activity on the other 10.6.4 Mac is fine - PicMark there is actually version 2.1
I wonder if something is corrupt in Rosetta on the Mini.
Maybe trashing that and redownloading it is an idea............

I tried ImageWell quite a while ago when I first looked for a program to watermark pictures, but I found the user interface cumbersome, so I chose picmark at the time.
Yesterday, when PicMark was giving me giref, I tried ImageWell again and it crashed as well.

So I think there is something else causing the problem - if not hardware, like RAM, maybe some other part of the software that is corrupt. Rosetta maybe ???
Except for those two programs, everything else seems to be working fine.

I tried JetPhoto, I thought I mentioned that, but not only is it cumbersome, but the watermark also has to be an image which makes it even more cumbersome for me.

People send me photographs that I need to watermark with a copyright symbol and their name before I post the pictures - which means I would need to create a watermark picture for each one; with picmark I can just type the ©2010 Name and I'm done.

Picmark has been working for me on this Mini with 10.6 since about April without an issue - it should still work now.

I have been using picmark 2.1 on the G4 with 10.4.11 on and off for a few years, never a problem.
In April I bought a Mini with SL and used MA to move all my files and applications from the G4.
Have been using picMark and other PPC only applications via Rosetta without any problems.
PicMark was always version 2.1

Then yesterday, after the problem started with the crashes, I trashed every picmark file I could find and downloaded the picmark software, 2.1 in oine case and 2.2 another time.
The Mini crashes with both.

This morning I downloaded what I thought was picmark 2.2 but turned out to be picmark 2.1 on the other Mac also running 10.6.4, moved the photos that I wanted watermarked to that Mac and performed the operation there.
First time I also get the "runtime" error message, but the watermarking works fine - no crashes.
And the 'runtime' message only shows up the first time one uses picmark.

So.........something happened to the Mini yesterday evening - during the day I was still watermarking on the Mini with no problems and then in the evening out of the blue the Mini started crashing every time I wanted to use this application......and crashed with ImageWell also.
In fact, I had completed watermarking 10 pictures and wanted to watermark them again with a different colour when the crashing started.
Colours were deep yellow and deep blue, both of which I have used many times previously with no problem; size of font and style I have also used before - really absolutely nothing new that could have started the first crash.

So my guess, either a hardware problem, maybe RAM address space that is not normally used by other apps or a Rosetta issue or ??? who knows.
 
#21 · (Edited)
Well, after a few succesful watermarkings using the other Mac, it has now started to show the same symptons as the Mini.
Crashes and a similar log.

So back to ImageWell it is or more google searching.

-----------

PS:
Since I don't really need a true watermark, just a © indicator on the picture, I decided to go back and see what preview has to offer since I already use it to manipulate photographs - make them larger or smaller, sharpen fuzzy ones, correct colours etc.
Preview includes an annotate option which although not automated, will at least get me what I want.
And since every photograph gets manipulated with preview anyway, it's not that much extra work since I don't have to launch another application, import the pictures, mark them and then save them.
With preview I can get exactly the same effect as with picmark, just not in a batch mode.
Maybe I can set something up in automator if I have a lot of pictures to do.
