Lotty, this is a question that you should ask under the photo forum. I know there's a way to do it with PSE 7 but haven't tried it yet. Watermarking is a good help to protect your images. As a matter of fact I think Sandra's site has it or it's one of her replies on the iPad pics question.
Yup, it's under the "dreaded grays" topic.
In fact It's a great question since I remember members here talking about someone stealing their images (some time ago).

Well, I can see that some kind soul moved your question here. I'm also interested in the answers.
Michele, you rock!!!

It depends on what kind of watermark you were thinking of. Translucent, not translucent? Just text? Do you want to do a whole batch at once?
Are you looking for freeware?
I have PicMonkey myself which lets you make watermarks, but I'm paying for it and don't use the basic version.

Eeks i never realised it was so complicated. I just want to put text across pics as and when I want. freeware would be good but not essential.

I use pixelmator for my watermarks.
I made a template that I place on top of my images and make the lettering translucent for 50 %
But I'm sure there are online services for it as well.

Carina, are you thinking of just adding text onto a pic? PS Elements lets you add text over a photo. It's easy. Since PSE is up to version 11 PSE 7 should be available at a very reasonable price.
Are you looking to do it completely on your computer or on line?
(This may have already been answered but I'm also wondering how to do the translucent version. But free is good.)

I think that just exactly what I do do.
I make a layer with the text and save it as a separate template, already to the size of all the photo's I make.
So when I want to watermark my photo's I just copy the layer and paste it on top of the photo. turn down the opacity and I'm done. ;D
I use Pixelmator for MAC, but I think in Gimp for linux or photoshop it's the same.

I think you could do it in gimp. You'd put the text on a new layer then decrease opacity (transparency) to what you want. I use photoshop but have only done it on photos that are non-jewellery related. Principle is the same. Like this for example. Not as good because I did it on my ipad and not computer.  |
