Protect your images!

[Bob]

We recently had several images stolen from our website, from various other sites using them to sell their products. We are going through and re-doing all of our product images to include a watermark, which we should of done since day one.

I recommend putting a watermark on all photos you take and post on the internet. Something simple with your business name or your name would be perfect. I would hate to see someone get their images stolen and have another detailer use them and call them their own.

Most all, if not all, of the places took them down upon my request. No troubles for them at all and they where very nice about it.

Is there a good program for putting a watermark on digital photos or how do you do it?

I'm still getting the hang of the Crayola 128's :lol:

Picture stealers are pathetic.

Ditto, how does one go about watermarking his or her image?

Well, I use photoshop but several cheaper program out there will let you watermark. Basically what I do is type in my text and put it on really lite.

you can download GIMP it is very similiar to Photoshop but it's FREE, I use it to do all my editing and resizing.

If anyone wants to have some watermark or your name of the photo, email them to me, I will send them back.

btw, I have totally forgotten about photo stealers. If they want my generic totally clean, shiny new car, go ahead.
