It's just to reinforce and remind people that the picture is the property of somebody else. Usually that doesn't stop people, so a watermark will help thwart others in using or claiming it as their own, without paying royalties or getting permission.

Doesn't hurt in advertising too!

An image with visible digital watermarking. The text "Brian Kell 2006" can be seen across the center of the image.

Yes, and we can all see how well the watermark has kept anyone from posting this image anywhere else.

hahah ass

What editing software are you using? Basically you create an image file with the text you want for the watermark, do a bit of manipulation to make it semi transparent, then add it as a layer to your pics. I've got a book by Scott Kelby on Elements 5, which I use, that has a step by step walk through on how to create one.

Yeah cs2 but u have to do it with every picture.

I'm wondering if u can do it by a batch of photos.

I'm lazy, I know haha

thomb · 05-22-2008, 06:07 PM

I'm not that familiar with CS2, but its got to have batch processing. In the Elements editor under the 'File' menu is a 'Process Multiple Files' option. Playing around with that just now I found an option to put a watermark on all files within a given directory at once. Check your help for batch or process multiple, it's gotta be in there somewhere.
