Nice photos...I see you've got a Nikon...I've got a D40x and D300...I'm wondering how do you put that mark in the middle of your photos? I've never been able to figure that out. I have Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2. I know it does a lot more than I use it for. I mostly use it to touch up photos. Sooo...is it difficult? What program do you use?

 

I edited it because I realized I used my program to make my signature..lol. At first, I said "I only use it for touch up...."<br><br>Post edited by: HeatherStrella, at: 2009/05/10 09:33

Actually the watermark is applied by the online gallery software I use (gallery2) which has a watermarking plugin.

I create a transparent PNG, insert whatever you want to watermark your images with, and set the translucency. (You should be able to do that in PSP, PhotoShop, The GIMP, etc.)

 

 

At which point, I upload the PNG set it as the watermark, and it overlays it on top of every image, thumbnail, etc., depending on how I configure it. I can change the watermark by uploading another one, have multiple watermarks for different galleries, etc., move it by adjusting the position in the web interface, remove it, etc. because it still retains the original unmarked image on my server.

 

What I recommend you do, if you want to apply a watermark is basically do the same general thing with PSP. Create a second layer, insert whatever watermarking you wish, and then adjust the translucency to where you want. Then you can re-export it as JPEG/TIFF.

 

Of course, Google is always our best friend... ;-)
