Hi Jennifer
You can do this in photoshop. And the good thing is that you can just make your own brush that you can change size and colour for each photo you apply it to. One click with the brush and it's on your picture. This info is from the "
Ways to Protect Your Digital Images Online" thread.
- Create a new file with a transparent background.
- Type out your copyright information (it doesn't matter what size font you use at this point, the brush will resize later).
- Add a drop shadow (use the layer style button and select drop shadow) and lower the opacity of the layer (lowering it to around 50-75% should be good).
- Crop the picture so that there isn’t a lot of extra room around your copyright (Select around your image using the rectangular marquee, then select Image -> Crop).
- Save the file as a brush (Edit -> Define Brush Preset). Give your brush a name like "Copyright" and save it.
- Select the brush from the brush pallet, then use the brush to stamp your copyright over your picture, change the opacity or colour if you need to, then save your picture as a new file and upload it to the internet however you want.
Hope that helps, if you need any of the steps explained better, let me know
