Copyright Protection For Photos - Batch Processing

That's an interesting question. How would you know that the watermark is placed where you want it?

I would like to know the answer to that one myself. Great question. Hope you have a terrific 2012.

Cameron, Picassa which is a free photo program from Google has a very easy program to place the copyright watermark on your photos. Once you set it up, you merely check a box as to whether you want the water mark and export photos into another file.  You can do batch processing and it does not change the original photo so you still have it untouched for future uses.  This sounds like great material for a future post so I will try to put together a tutorial soon.

Cameron - It looks like Gary had the right answer to this question.  It was a great question to ask!

Cameron, Hi. FastStone is another free program that I use for everything; resizing, batch renaming, and watermarks.  Love the photo from Washington D.C. Capitol.  Here is the one I took from the Illinois State Capitol.

Hi Cameron,

If Picassa doens't work for you then you may want to try lightroom by adobe.com . It's not cheap or free but it is the best tool I recomment amateur photographers for quickly editing images without having to deal with Photoshop. Check the software that came with your camera, it might do the job of watermarking images.

Compupic is another tool I've used in the past: http://www.photodex.com/compupic

Good Evening Cameron:

Excellent photos...I have used the Picassa to put watermark on my pictures, not for copyright purposes, but rather to label them. I don't think it does batch processing.  It is free though

Cameron,

Happily Gary had a good answer for you.  There are lots of incredible photographers here, someone was bound to have the answer.
