Here is an example of a watermarked picture done with picture-shark.

you don't need to create a transparent image, fiddling around with the picture-shark tool, it makes the image transparent itself! whoops didn't realise earlier! you can select which area of the image you want to be transparent!

TOP PROGRAM!!

I obviously underestimate myself as a photographer, another pic pinched by someone else! I have downloaded picture shark now-that'll teach me not to follow all your good advice straight away. I have created my logo watermark but I would have liked the nice two tone writing above but can't do that.

Shouldn't allways believe what you see. With 10 minutes anyone can use your pic. Will deter most but not all.

neilwoods Nice work! A bit smudgy in places.


FloFlo There is information here http://www.erns-eporium.co.uk/watermark_files/wmktext.htm
for making the two tone text. Alternately PM me with the required text and size and I will make one for you.

Thanks, but I've managed to knock one up just using photo express.

Thats why i said 10 minutes, i only opened the pic and used a 32 pixel soft round brush for the cloning. Had i spent more time, i would of gone in closer using a 5pixel brush, and used some gaussian blur.

I never watermark my pic's with overlayed. I allways use a digital watermark. But like i said it deters about 90% of most people.
