My good friend cmptrwhz has made a tutorial on how to watermark your images.

In order to make a watermark on your renderings you will need either Adobe photoshop or Gimp.

For this example I will use Gimp because it is Free to download and use. Install these packages in the order given and then continue.

· Goto this [link] download Gimp for FREE

· GTK+ 2 Runtime Environment --choose the proper one according to your system

· The GIMP for Windows (version 2.2.14, updated installer)

· GIMP Help 2 (version 0.11)

· GIMP Animation Package (version 2.2.0)


Now that Gimp is installed lets open the program and load up your rendered image. To successfully create a watermark you need to follow these instructions:

· goto the layers panel and press the new layer button on the bottom, choose transparent for layer type when prompted.

· Now that there is a new layer click and drag it to the top of the list of layers

· Press the alphabet button to enable text writing

· Goto the Brushes options panel and change the font size to about 40, color to white, and the style to your desired settings

· click on the far left side in the middle of your loaded rendering to start writing

· In the subwindow that opens you will type your text for the watermark

· Make any adjustments to the size of your text

· Now let's position the text more center by pressing the 4 way arrow button on the main button display, click the text on the open image window and move it to where you want it

· Now we can finally finish this by making your text into a watermark. On the layers panel there is a slider bar that changes the opacity/transparency of the layer that is highlighted. Since we should already have the text layer highlighted lets slide this bar down to about 4% but this will need to be adjusted according to how dark or how light your rendered image is you will have to make the call on how transparent you need it to be.

· When you save the file choose the desktop or your saving folder, name your modified image and add the extension .JPG and when you press the save button you will be prompted for some more information. The quality bar should be set to 100 and under the advanced options remove the check for optimization.
