Have a look here, maybe something to help.

There is also ImageMagick

This is a mere bump map:

- create a text layer with your copyright and make it invisible. - select your image layer
- Filters/Map/Bump map, and use the copyright as the bump map.

You'll likely find plenty of scripts to do that.

If you have very many picture to process, investigate using ImageMagick instead.

And remember the rule: the size of the logo should be proportional to your ego and inversely proportional to the quality and interest of the picture :)

You can put an invisible copyright in the Exif/IPTC fields of the photo (good cameras can be set up to put the copyright automatically. in the shots they take).

I tried this and it didn't work. Do you make the text layer with the copyright invisible by hiding the layer (clicking the eye in the layers dialog) or by reducing the opacity to 0?

When I tried this, the copyright didn't appear at all.

Peace...

I attached a small script in Guile I made a long time ago. It isn't exactly what you want (doesn't rotate, for example), but that shouldn't be too hard to add.

You can add labels, make them semi-transparent, etc.

Try adjusting the Watermark and Ambient values

Making the copyright layer invisible is just a way to get it out of the way, because that layer doesn't appear in the final image, it is only used to transform the one with the photo. You could also move it to the bottom of the stack so it is hidden by the main image.

For the rest, I was incomplete: the bump-map layer should have the size of the target layer, so:

- add layer to image - fill with 50% gray (127,127,127)
- move to under text layer
- merge down text layer

and use that result as the bump-map

Not difficult.

Add your text, size, rotate, position it. In the text layer, select the text (by colour is always a good bet) Now you have the selection, you can delete the text. Apply the filter -> Decor -> Bevel to the selection. Done.
