Can anyone answer me how to add a border and copyright to my pictures?

Just a word to the wise: you can't add borders or copyright notices to your DP Challenge submissions-- they will be disqualified if you do.

If you need to know how to do this for other photos of yours, though, I would be glad to help.

I created two templates that I use... one is for horizontal and the other for vertical 640x480 images that I post to various places on the web....

I created a frame at 72dpi that is larger than my photo size with room on the bottom for text. I cut and paste my photo onto the template and then position it where it needs to be... then add the text...

I saw your Liberty and Justice photo on another site which had your name and the copyright symbol. Did you pay for that? I can't figure out how to get the copyright symbol.

But is there any other way of adding copyrights to the images just besides doing it manually by creating text layer and reducing the opacity.

Thanks

If you are using Photoshop go to File Info under the file menu -- one of the options is to mark the image and inculde the copyright notice ( a circle-c symbol will appear in the title bar when the photo is opened). Also, on the Mac the symbol is entered with Option-G.

Are you looking for a hidden watermark that is embedded into your image?

Or are you looking for a visible watermark that is stamped across your image, rendering it unusable for most purposes?
