I have been wanting to have a watermark on my pictures for a while especially when i realized alot of people have them. so i just recently uploaded a picture of mine with a watermark. http://365project.org/laneyandaudrey/365/2010-06-28
but im not sure if this is a good watermark or if i even did it right. So what are some ways you ca watermark photots? what software or websites do you use?
ive seen some watermarked photos too and thougt of starting it and i think i will. the reason i havent done it sooner was bc i thought it would be too late.
Laney, I was just wondering that myself. Truth is, I used to know how but forgot the steps- I do recall having to use a separate program and that it was a rather tedious process. These days I use Picasa to do basic editing on some of the shots I upload- there is a text feature that I'll try out for the next shot I add. One rule of thumb is that no matter how you go about it you might consider a smaller font size and placement in the photo so that it is visible but unobtrusive; you don't want to place it on your main subject. Hope that helped. - Best, C.
So i started watermarking. its not very hard and like katie said i just go to the text tools in picnik and make it 'overlay' and its fairly simple. the only dificulty is that i always forget to put it and have to go back :p
like katie, i use photoshop's text layer. i just play with the opacity of the text layer and usually place it at 13%. though sometimes i forget to attach it before posting, so now, i make it a point to put the watermark as the last step of editing. the one that you have there on your pic's good. :)
