Nancy		How to put my name on the photos online How do I put my name on my photo that I show online so that no one can copy it? To love this question, log in above July 16, 2008

- Carlton Ward Contact Carlton Ward Carlton Ward's Gallery		Hi Nancy, What editing software are you using ? I use Photoshop or Elements and it has all the tools, I will mention here. If you have a type tool select the tool and place it where you want to type and hold the ALT key while typing 0169 and release the ALT key to get the © symbol (or "option G" for MAC) and then type "2008 Nancy". You should then be able to highlight/select the © 2008 Nancy and select the font & letter size and if you have a color picker, select the color you want. Then if you have a move tool, you can select it and position your name exactly where you want it. BTW - there are a lot of similar threads already on Better Photo so you may do a search & read through some of them to get more info. Hope this helps - Carlton To love this comment, log in above July 16, 2008

W.		Nancy, Carlton's suggestions are good. Should you want more info on this subject then type "watermarking" in the search box at the top right of this page and hit Enter. Have fun! To love this comment, log in above July 16, 2008

- Carlton Ward Contact Carlton Ward Carlton Ward's Gallery		Nancy, one more thing I would like to mention is that photos posted on a Better Photo site are right-click protected although you can never stop anyone from doing a screen capture (and some OS/browsers will over ride the right-click protection) but using small sized images and the watermark will render them pretty useless for most people to try and steal. If you decide to post images on Better Photo, read their suggestions for sizing them (like 500 pixels on the short side). Carlton To love this comment, log in above July 16, 2008

Nancy		Hi W.S. - Already thanked Carlton for his suggestions, and I also thank you for taking time to respond to my question. I'll try both when the time comes for me to get my name on the photo. Thanks, Nancy To love this comment, log in above July 16, 2008
