Here is one from awhile back:

Do you manually "watermark" each image or do you just have a program?

It's actually a border. I'm using it to enhance the shots not to protect them.

It started out as being a manual process, but it takes a good deal of time if you want to do a lot. So I ended up creating an action so I could use the batch feature in Photo Shop.

It's been working great, but last night I had a few issues with it. So I need to correct them.

Blah

I know it's not meant to be a watermark. I guess I take the word "watermark" in a different context than most. I don't think of it as text on the physical picture, I include borders. Also, I don't always think of it as protecting, but a way to get your name out into the photography world. Otherwise could just write "don't copy this picture"

And as you said...It just makes the picture look pretty and more professional

I really need to get photoshop one of these days. Picasa 3 is useful, but the features get old after a while. Plus whenever I save an image I lose quality and sharpness. It's very annoying...

Ha, I blame photoshop. I went over the top on that last shot though. I like the contrast and over sharpened look, but many wont.
