I saw this personal photo on Facebook, with the posters initials in the lower left corner. I have been searching how to do this, have found no easy solution yet. Is there a fairly simple way to do this? Thank you kindly. Rusty
This is known as a watermark. It is used to stop people using the image and trying to pass it off as their own work. Programs like Photoshop can do this. Do you use a photo editing software, if so which one?
Here is a free program that does that TSR Watermark Image Software - Photo protection using watermarks, freeware for personal use. from our list here FREE Great Programs for Windows 7 [2]

Thanks for the responses, guys. I have been using Microsoft Office picture manager, as it has suited my needs just fine. I am assuming there isn't a watermark function in this, so I will look into the site you mentioned.
Faststone Image Viewer (which is free) allows you to put watermarks on your images plus you can batch convert a load of pics at once
Will take a look at that, thanks Mr. Poo♣
The good news is I successfully watermarked one of my photos and posted it to facebook. When I tried to post it here, tho, I got this message-The website cannot display the page

Most likely causes:
What you can try:
- The website is under maintenance.
- The website has a programming error.

So I took a snip, which did post here. All's good, thanks so much for the help♫

Good to see you have been successful. So far as posting your image here on the Forum can you let us know what file size your photo was and what file extension was it. Presumably JPG but please confirm? Also how did you try to attach the image?
Aha, Mitchell. Size does matter. I am in the early photo learning stage so it's somewhat Greek to me. I am guessing the non postable size was 1524 x 931, as I read it on the bottom of snipped copy. I reduced it to 1024 x 575 and it worked like a charm. The great thing about digital is the ability to shoot as much as you want and delete what does not work. It's all good. Thank you kindly for your reply. Rusty
