Adding watermark such as “Copyright Your Name” to your photos is always nice thing to do as people that downloading your photos from image hosting like flickr or deviantart will know from who they take the photo.

While adding watermark can be done using image editing software like Adobe Photoshop or GIMP, it’s a tedious task if you want to add watermark to many photos. An easier way to do watermarking is by using Google Picasa, here is how to do it:

1. Open Google Picasa and select the images that you want to add watermark on it. You can select multiple images by press and hold the Ctrl key while you clicking on the images.

2. Click Export button on Google Picasa panel.

4. Give check on “Add a watermark” checkbox and type the watermark text you want.
