How to add a watermark with Gimp.

 

Open Gimp and then your photo.

Press CTRL-L to bring up the Layers window.

Right Click on the layer that says, Background, and select New Layer.

Click on Select New Layer to highlight it.

Move to the Tools Pallet, and find the BIG BLACK A, to select text, or press the "t" on your keyboard to bring up the text option on the Tools Pallet.

Select your font and size and then click on the photo to insert your text.

Type your name and then select close. You should see your name with a yellow and black box around it.

 

Press Alt-r, then d then e.

This key combo will bring up the Filters, Distort, and then Emboss

You will then see your name in a text box. I would just select ok.

Move to your layers box again and then move the Opacity bar and drag it to the left, so you can hardly see your name.

 

Right click on Background and then select flatten image, then save.

 

This is a very simple way to add your name. If you want to add the © symbol, type it up in Word, then cut and paste.
