Hi Myles, it depends what software you use to prepare your images - what do you use?

okey, Thx. Well, I actually don't edit my photos. I like to leave them natural but I have Photoplus.

Thx Paula. But I think I would be easier if I could do it myself.

You could try http://picmarkr.com/ - I have never used it before but their terms of service seem OK.

Like Paula, I use Lightroom or Photoshop for my watermarking.

Yes you can Yusuf. If you have it, Lightroom makes it very easy during the Export process - you can specify the watermark you want to apply to all the photos you are exporting.

It is fairly easy in Photoshop too. You need to create an action that adds the text to the image, then use the Batch processing tool (menu File-Automate-Batch) to apply that action to multiple images.
