Watermarking your photos is important if you share them anywhere on the internet.
Period.
Period.
It simply says… this is my property.
Here is an example of a photo with no watermark.
A dishonest person could, for instance, easily write a blog post claiming they picked these flowers from their garden and arranged them.
And oh aren’t they just lovely.
Or, maybe their hubby or latest boy-toy
brought them home to them.
Blah~blah… whatever.
You get the picture {no pun intended} right?
All it takes is a little something
to protect your flowers, your kitchen remodel,
a handmade craft…
even your KIDS!
Here is an example of a photo with a watermark.
Step-by-Step Watermarking Instructions.
1. Open picmonkey.com
2. Click on the box that says;
edit your photo
(This will open your browser)
4. Click the P.
5. Enter the TEXT you desire.
It will appear in the box.
6. Next, select the FONT you wish to use.
7. Click thegreen ADD button under the text box.
8. Your text will appear on the photo.
9. You can drag the text anywhere on the photo.
10. There are many option available for the text;
color, fade, bold, italic, placement, size, blend modes
and delete (if you want to start over).
11. When you are happy with your final selections, click off/away from the white drag and drop working box and your text will be on the photo.
12. Hit SAVE. (in the lower left hand side)
– A “save to my computer” box will pop up.
– Click the green save photo button.

– Rename your photograph if you would like the keep the original
non edited version. This way you will have both.
– Add .jpg to the end of your photo name.
– Hit save in your pop up box.
There are prompts.
It’s easier then it sounds when written out.
Promise!
All done. You did it!
It is very simple. Don’t be afraid.
Click around & play away!

Great tutorial! How do you save the watermark so you can use it for all of your photos? I have one I like, but I can’t figure out how to use it again.
Thanks!

Thanks. Another tip I learned to use (via Pinterest) which is useful. If you hold down the Alt key and press 0169 on the numerical keyboard, you can get the copyright symbol: © (PC, not sure about Macs)

I found you through a pin on Pinterest. I have had my cardmaking blog for over 2 years but had never watermarked any of my cards. I tried to figure it out a couple of times, with no luck. Your tutorial was awesome! And I tried it and you are right, so easy! I did it! I love it! Thank you so much for your help!

Thank you for the watermark tip.

Happy to hear the monkeys are all safe and sound!
I use Picasa and it auto-watermarks, since I am trying *really* hard to limit my blogging time. Although at the moment I’m ignoring a dirty diaper, so apparently I’m not choosing my moments that well:)

Hi Shannon! I have enjoyed PicMonkey too…easy to use. Hey, like the commenter above me, Paula, I would like to know how you made the frosty, see-through band across the picture. Maybe you could do a blog post on that also. I saw your post over at Tatertots and Jello.
Paula says
Thanks for showing us this. I’d liek to know how you did the first photo, it seems where you wrote “non-watermarked photo” has a background color int he text box, almost frosty? I’d really like to know how to do that!
