Anybody know how to lock/scramble pictures
 

I have some pictures of a big boat raft up me and a friend put on. A friend of mine flew over in his plane and took pics for me. I want to post up pictures. What is the way to put a water mark in the center to keep it from being a clear picture.. I want to have them tell me what ones they want so I can recoupe some of my money.. I know if they try hard enough they can get them, just want to make it easier to buy them from me :) Thanks for any advice or info. I know it can be done, just don't no how.
Thanks

download the photoshop trial.


put a giant X over the picture.

save it as a new file name, as a .jpg.

done.


heck, you can even do that in paint, just save it as a new file name.

Something like this?:

I use a program that is called uMark Lite 1.1. Pretty easy to use and I use for work. Here are a couple samples of what I did last.

I would use gimp (free) and open the picture as one layer then put another layer of whatever watermark you want on top and use ~35% opacity.

GIMP is a good free one, many other free editing programs out there. Or just do it the MS paint way.

Just went and DL'd gimp.. Worked great.. Thanks guys..

well lets see the pics...

Just somthing easy I did, took 2 min.. Just to detour people from hacking them.. This was a great turn out, was off the hook..

If you could make the text larger or in a patter it would help a LOT.

Looks like a lot of fun.
