Have split out and moved the conversation on graphics software to its own thread.

It won't prevent theft... it just makes use of the pic less desirable. Ive likely posted a million pics online without incident. Generally the only folks who use watermarking are those who sell pics, graphics or art online. For the rest of us its of limited value. Even with a watermark and downloading turned off... if I want your graphic I can take it. So if this is that important to you, don't post them online. Sometimes you have to weigh the risks and benefits.

You can do it with photoshop..or probably most drawing programs, you just write what you want and reduce the contrast of the words..

Okay, so Chief mentioned using watermarking on pics to prevent them from being pirated. How does this work? Is it a program that can be downloaded or purchased?

Thanks in advance,
