It happens to all of us, we catch Megan Fox strolling through our local supermarket - she catches your eye and teasingly winks before placing her hands on her hips and throwing her head back - while you casually pull out your camera phone. You return home, post the picture on the internet, only to find that other sites on the internet have managed to get the exact same shot - after your initial amazement at how coincidental the event is, you realise your photo has simply been stolen. One way to protect against this is to watermark the image to identify it as yours.
In the most simple case, a watermark can be a plain text URL of your website but can be as complex of a logo image as you'd place. This guide illustrates a simple method to watermark a group of photos, suitable in the scenario where you have an album of photos taken at an event and want to upload these to your website or facebook profile to share with the world, while keeping credit.
