These are great step by step directions. I really wish I had Photoshop. Since HubPages does not let us use watermarked pictures on our hubs, I won't need to go out and buy it, but it would be useful for other sites.

@Vinaya Ghimire -Thanks for your comment and reading it. We all should get aware about our thousand dollars premium content. I said it premium dollar because what you are doing is premium because you had done a hard work (even a second is worthy) on it, the camera, the thought, the perspective and many thing all is yours. But the thief do not care about it.

I use lots of images on online content, but I have never thought about watermarking my pictures.Since there is lots of theft, I'm now seriously deliberating about using watermarks.

Thanks for reminding.
