Hi

If you want to protect your images before uploading them on the forum, then you could try the freeware program, Image Water Marker, that is simple to use.

There are many programs that you can use, but this one is designed more for the novice PC user who wants fast results.

The program can be downloaded here:

Step by Step Guide

Here is a simple step-by-step guide to how it works:

1) Run the application and click "open" button and select an image from your hard drive.

2) Once you have selected the image the original image and preview image will be shown. The preview will have some sample text.

3) Enter your text in the text bar marked ‘Watermark Text’

4) You can change the transparency use the slider bar marked ‘Transparancy’

5) You can change the font and other attributes by clicking the ‘Select Font’ button

6) Once you have finished, just click ‘save’. The final image will be marked with the file name and ‘_final’

7) That is it. You watermarked image is ready for uploading

I downloaded the program and can not seem to get it to work. I get lots of warnings about the .NET issue. I try to open a photo but it does not work. Any ideas?

Use this URL instead and just download "Software #1: ImageWaterMarker 1.1": http://www.codingelite.com/tools/

This program IS very small and it works great!

Does anyone know if there is a programme out there, where you can kind of automatically batch watermark a large number of images without having to load up every single one and do it manually?? Cheers, Torsten.

Why watermark your pictures?

If I'm not a dealer why should I watermark photographs of my collection?

Well Chris .... more and more pictures are being copied for fraudulent purposes and items put up for sale that 'pretend' sellers do not own . ... more 'pricy' items and collectors are getting ripped off .

The question I have as some time has past now - 3 years - if Fast Stone is still the best free program out there for mass water marking ??
