{why I watermark my photos & how you can too}

Why do I watermark my photos?

I watermark my photos because I don't want people to steal them. Simple as that.

Now...I'm fully aware that people can still steal them, because it's incredibly easy, but it's just another way to mark them & say I own them.

The photos...not the people. ;)

I made my watermark in Photoshop, but since not everyone has Photoshop, I made a tutorial on how to make one using Pixlr. It's a GREAT online editing program; I highly recommend using it.

That's it! Pretty easy. But if there's a direction that's unclear, ask me! I'll help ya.

Or...if you'd like me to make you one, I'd be happy to! Just comment & tell me what you'd want it to say :)
