Pa,

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean software that will let you add text to your images like "© 2008 Pa"? Or do you mean one of those hidden digital watermarks that allows you to track your images?

i want to do some thing like this Andrew was hoping for a free watermark but if none are available I'll buy it...thanks.

just use photoshop or something similar?

that watermark is horrible though. there is a happy medium between protecting your interests and ruining a good photo with obtrusive 'watermarking'.

Pa,

What software do you use for post processing? Most apps allow you to add text to your pictures.

I use PaintShopPro 9. What I now do for mine is to create a new vector layer which has an opacity of 30% and the put the text on that. When I merge them, I get a much more subtle watermark. e.g.



In theory, you could even put text like that across the middle without detracting too much from the image.

I use the Watermark Pictures Protector for quick and easy watermarking if I have many images (often 3,000-4,000 at a time)
Quick and Easy to use and allows some creativity (adding borders etc)

Otherwise I use Photoshop or Paintshop Pro for the Hires images or when I need a complex watermark...
