 ## 3.3 Impression For Aperture Plug-In
 
-
-
 [Impression](http://www.bluecrowbar.com/software/impressionaperture/) is an Aperture Edit Plug-In from [Blue Crowbar Software](http://www.bluecrowbar.com) released in Sept. 2009. The developer claims it's mainly targeted for those people who want to have a copy of their watermarked image within Aperture. Also there's a nice blog post by the developer lining out [why he thinks this plug-in beats Aperture's builtin watermarks.](http://www.bluecrowbar.com/blog/posts/impression-for-aperture.html)

 This plug-in is pretty powerful and probably the best choice for watermarking your images in Aperture through an Edit Plug-In workflow. Watermarking multiple photos at once is also possible and you can use existing PSD or PNG images as a watermark image as well as from a RTF text file. Apart from the functionality it also has a quite beautiful UI with the controls laying over your image.

 ## 4. Conclusion
 
-
-
 So you see there are quite a few possibilities for adding watermarks in your Aperture workflow although the most comfortable solution, a brick in the adjustment panel for adding text or watermark images non-destructively isn't there (yet?).
 
 And, except for the export plug-ins, you will leave a non-destructive workflow since all your changes to the image are rendered in a psd or tiff file and any further adjustments in Aperture will also affect your watermark. Also there's no way of going back with these solutions without creating a new psd file.

 But if you want e.g. different text on just a few images and want to have your watermarked image within Aperture you should try using the Edit plug-ins or your external editor. Also if you don't care about big file sizes for rather minor changes you can use the Edit plug-ins for watermarking although you'll slightly leave Aperture's non-destructive workflow design  with this. This by the way is the case with all the Edit plug-ins. But that's another story...
 
 And that's it folks. I hope this article helps you finding the right method for watermarking your images in an Aperture workflow.

 So we were able to set a path to our image we wanted to use as the default gravatar image. But with Wordpress 2.7 we have the new function [`<?php wp_list_comments(); ?>`](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_comments) which pretty much simplifies writing comment template code. Although it has a parameter for the avatar size it doesn't have one for setting a custom image like before.
 
 But we can use the functions.php file in your template directory and add some lines to it: (If you don't have a functions.php file just create one.)
