Default How do I "sign" my uploads?

Can someone please tell me how to put my signature on my photos when I upload them to my gallery? AND how do I get that "hazey" effect around my photo?

Thanks so much for offering answers.

this is called a watermark -- do a search on forums keyword "watermark" and you will be able to find some info. it is a technique usually created in a photoshop program.

Yup! What she said. A watermark is created in whaterever photo software you are using before you upload.

A little more help, if you please :confused: . I have Kodak EasyShare for my photos. I have looked and looked but find nothing that will allow me to "sign" my photos or put that "angelic halo" effect around my photos. Can anyone give me some pointers? I am so NOT a computer person! Help! ;)

The software that came with my camera doesn't have that ability either. I think you have to have a true photoshop program to do both the watermark and add the border around your photos. Gina K had did a tutorial awhile back on her blog and she used a software that you can dowload from the internet and it was only $30. I am going to do that! Here's the link she provided...

I haven't done this technique either as I don't have a program for it. Hazzmomy's info sounds good

here is another link that helps (found this link on SC by a stampin guru on this site) -- once you have a photoshop type program:

I use Microsoft Digital Imaging Software that I purchased several years ago...It certainly wasn't free, but it has oodles of options for altering photo's. I'm told that it is now inherent in Microsoft Vista, if you have that. But the "haze" that I use is called a "soft edge" under the frames option, and the "watermark" I use is created just on a blank template, add whatever text you want it to say, name, initials, copyright, etc. Save it as a "photo" and then import the "watermark" photo on top of your card photo before you upload it. Don't know if that helps or makes any sense...hope so!

Paint Shop Pro is a photo editing/graphic program that rocks! You can probably get a free demo download of it if you Google it. I believe it's marketed by Corel now.
