How to Watermark your photos!!!

fayden · May 19th, 2006, 02:00 PM

Please everyone you should always watermark your photos. If you do not know how, this should be an easy quide.

Download IRFANVIEW. this is a very easy program to use.

you can download it here

http://www.tucows.com/get/194967_75076

choose your location nearest you.

once you have successfully completed the download open the program, go to file-open locate your photo graphs and then go to image resize resample. you can also rotate your photographs. a good size is 450 by 600. or you can go larger if you want.

this is when you can watermark your photos. first- left click on your mouse to create a rectangle over your photo, then go to edit-insert text into your selection. there are options to choose your font, size, and color of your text.

then after you are satisfied with it, don't forget to save!

i hope this helps!!!

just watermark your old photo and save it, it'll replace the old one. If you already watermarked a bunch and now have duplicates, just delete the ones you don't need any longer, then empty your recycle bin.
