hi all,

how do i watermark a photo so people cant copy it, i only need a light watermork so people can still see the photo

is there any free programs out there

thanks

Do you have Adobe Photoshop? If so, design your watermark as a separate image. Choose File / New. Make sure the background of the image is transparent and not any other colour. You may want the image size to be the same size as the photo you want to place the watermark on, that way the scale will not be a problem. Design your watermark.

When satisfied with your design, press Ctrl + A, and then Ctrl + C. (This copies the entire image to the clipboard.)

Switch to the window with the picture you wish to watermark. Under the Layer menu, find Layer from Copy. In the layer panel, which is in the lower right corner of the picture, adjust the opacity of your watermark until it is suitably dimmed.

There may well be easier or more convenient ways, but the above should work ok.

thanks for your time

You can in one time resize your pictures (or keep same resolution) and at the same time put a watermark in!

Doesn't get much easier nor cheaper

Are you looking for something like the ones in the pictures I uploaded ? You need Photoshop for this type of watermark.
