This is watermarking software that will help protect copyright.

This is a software tool that helps watermark your images with well designed watermarks. Adding text to images, digital photos, etc. can be done easily and quickly through this free tool. There is a Pro version of the software that`ll provide additional features. The tool supports images in JPG, PNG, GIF, animated GIF, TIFF, multipage TIFF formats. To make things easy for novice users the tool includes some 10 odd presets. You can then get productive quickly. These presets will let you get well organized watermarks and has Text, Stamp, Date&Time, File name, Demotivational poster, LOLcat, etc. The tool integrates with Windows Explorer, and its right click context menu and "Send To" menu. It is a batch converter, and you start by creating a batch list of images to be processed.

The interface is simple and quite easy to understand. You choose what type of watermark, text only, text annotation, date time or file name type watermark you want to add to the set of pictures. On the right of the interface you get to select the text font, font size, font color etc. You then choose the transparency. This is a little bit tricky. You have to choose a transparency that gives a complete view of the image, yet is not so light that it would not be clearly seen or may not reproduce at all on a copy. After all that the actual watermarking is a single click process. Nice and handy tool that will serve in many situations. It is free to use. There`s a Pro version too that adds features like saving and loading of project profiles, multiple watermarks at the same time, EXIF macros etc. Some amount of image processing features would have been nice additions.

Add text to images, protect your copyrights for digital photos, watermark pictures in a batch with this free and handy utility.
