Default Creating a watermark on a Mac.

Are there instructions already out there for Mac users? We use iPhoto to manipulate our photographs, so the instructions for PhotoShop are Greek to me. I am getting nowhere on my own. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks. Kathy

I'm not sure that iPhoto allows you to create watermarks. As far as I understand it, it's not a program that allows text editing in a photo...but I'm no expert. That's why I got Photoshop for my Mac...

There's a free site with the ability to edit (and add text and draw and all sorts of cool stuff) called picnik.com. You can upload an image and do whatever you want and save it to your desktop. VERY easy if you don't want to use photoshop.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will check it out.

I use a Mac and iphoto and there is no way to add a watermark.. I also use Picassa to add text which you can do easily in that program and its available now for Mac (free) but you can't add a file to the photo like if your watermark is a separate file instead of just you typing in text. The only way I have found to add the separate watermark file is to reboot in Windows and use a program called Photoscape (also free)... but then you have to import pics to the windows side,etc. I hope to soon get Photoshop Elements so I can add layers/files to pics without all the differerent programs!

I've just recently become addicted to picnik, too. Fun and easy program!

Hope it helps!
