Tiff, the Mac program is nice and easy to use, even figured it out all by myself yay!! me

Mac is really good at that. Nice and simple (most times). Can we see an example if you're able??

Love your photos Tiff, and the Venus Transit one Especially! I am not very impressed as we had cloud cover during the trasit which did not break until after it was finished.

I was wondering if you use a darker watermark for some photos and then a white, or lighter one for the dark photos? Same watermark, just different colours? I have seen this used before i think.

Also a question about the Copyright symbol. I notice that some people are using this. Should we put it in, or is copyright something that you have to purchase? Sorry may be a little too in depth, but have been thinking about it.

Thanks Heap

Hey Mel.
spot on re darker versus lighter watermarks.
quoting from the opening explanation.

"Use a thicker font so it doesn't look too thin and spidery, and you may need to produce two. A white one for darker backgrounds and a black one for lighter backgrounds."

and the copyright symbol is really completely up to you. I choose not to use it. My watermark is long enough without it. And I haven't really read up on the implications of using/not using it, so I haven't. You don't have to 'purchase' it as far as I know. On MAC its option G © and on PC its Alt 0169.

Hope that helps a bit.

another thought.


If somehow you can make your watermark with a slight drop shadow then you'll still see the white one on a white background.



I've created my transparent strip on mine via Photoshop and so I was able to use the drop shadow feature in there.

pleasure babe. pleasure.

Ok so here is one of the first ones that i did, fire away Tiff

I like it. But I do wonder if someone with poor eyesight would find it a bit tricky to read as its intricate.

(The same good advice that I took on board when I changed mine )

The size is a bit overpowering..... think of it as a discreet way to promote your name, not 'shouting' your name iykwim

Good opacity.

know exactly what you mean, thanks Tiff

Back to it to have more of a play

The Australian Copyright Council has a good website for basic copyright information. Look at the "General" information from this page: http://www.copyright.org.au/find-an-answer/

If the answer is really important - see an expert (intellectual property lawyer)!

thanks so much for the link Helen.
off for a read.
