The importance of watermarking your photos




And why not, it's so easy.
There are many programs available for watermarking your photos.


I like PicMonkey.  It's free to all users.
But that is only one of the reasons I like it. 


I can place my watermark anywhere within the photo.
That is very important.  It acts as a deterrent to those who want to steal your material.

If you are a blogger, you must read this recent post by Susan of "Between Naps on the Porch". 
She warns us that the entire content of your blog can be stolen by "Scrapers", then used to make money for them.  Not you.
After you read her lengthy and very informative post you will definitely want to watermark all of your photos. 






Place the watermark in such a position so that your photo can not be cropped without losing its main image.







Here is how to watermark with PicMonkey.


1)  Upload one of your photos
2)  Click on P under Basic Edits
3)  At top, click on Add Text
4)  Text Box appears in middle of your photo 
5)  Click inside box and type text (your watermark)
6)  Now you can edit your text, font, italics, bold, color, fade, etc.
7)  Drag text box wherever it looks best.





There are many programs available which make watermarking your photos very easy.
The important thing to remember is that you actually do it.


Have a great week my dear
