## 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...

||||

Before Wordpress 2.7 I achieved a custom gravatar image on kremalicious.com with this code placed in the comments.php template file:
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight php %}
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
if(function_exists('get_avatar')) {
|
||||
echo get_avatar(
|
||||
$comment,
|
||||
$size = '70',
|
||||
$default = '<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/gravatar.png'
|

);
|

}

$default = '<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/gravatar.png'
|
||||
);
|
||||
}
|
||||
?>
|
||||
{% endhighlight %}
|
||||
|
||||
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.)
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight php %}
|
||||
<?php
|
||||
function my_own_gravatar( $avatar_defaults ) {

$myavatar = get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/gravatar.png';

$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = 'GRAVATAR NAME DISPLAYED IN WORDPRESS';

return $avatar_defaults;

$myavatar = get_bloginfo('template_directory') . '/images/gravatar.png';

$avatar_defaults[$myavatar] = 'GRAVATAR NAME DISPLAYED IN WORDPRESS';

return $avatar_defaults;

And that's it. As you would guess I pretty much prefer this way to adjust the gravatar image. But you're free to [write your custom comment callback function](http://clarktech.no-ip.com/wordpress/wordpress-27-comment-callback-function) to exactly define the output of the comments. But it's definitely too much if you just want to change the gravatar stuff.

|

|

Let's start by looking at the code to achieve styling of author comments prior to Wordpress 2.7. On kremalicious.com I've used this code:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
{% highlight php %}
|
||||
<li class="
|

<?php
|
||||
if ($comment->comment_author_url == "http://www.kremalicious.com")

echo 'author';

else echo $oddcomment;

</li>

<li class="

<?php

if ($comment->comment_author_url == "http://www.kremalicious.com")

{% endhighlight %}

So with some php stuff we were able to check for the author name or, as I did it, for the URL of the comment author. If one of these were detected Wordpress added a new class 'author' to the `<li>` tag which we were able to style by adding a li.author to our css file:

Wordpress also has a special class for registered users of your site so you're able to style their comments as well. For this just use the class 'byuser':

{% highlight css %}li.byuser { css comes in here }{% endhighlight %}
