creating watermarks for photos

[Young, Stephanie J. (CDC/OSELS/EAPO) (CTR)]

TechSmith's SnagIt is screen capturing software, but you can open images in their editor to add watermarks and tags. It's only $50 and very easy to use. http://www.techsmith.com/snagit.html 

Best,

Hello.
One of the best technologies for photograph collections is Lightroom.
It's an Adobe product that enables all sorts of enhancements to digital photographs and allows you to add metadata to items for later retrieval.
Quite powerful, and easier to grasp than Photoshop.  An option is to add a watermark to all the images as you export them (usually in jpeg format).
You can design the watermark yourself.

It's around $200.
