My first posting, I just joined today

Ok, I just joined and because a former photography software program disappeared out of my computer, and after trying to figure out what happened (and i think I did), i have decided to upgrade to gimp (no more photoshop elements. Most of the time over the years I had only used that program for watermarking my photography. Several times i did use it for changing colors of my work BUT there was probably 80% of that program I never even used, or knew about. It is TIME for me to LEARN MORE about what I can do with my photography and will be doing alot of reading, grasping, understanding, following directions here from whomever wants to share with me, but right now for my first QUESTION: How can i watermark with a copyright symbol my photography? Thank you and will keep you on my desktop so to check in frequently each day. Here is a link to where i store what I have done over the last few years. I am in several shops here in San Diego, with greeting cards, my book full of my images, and much more. Thank you ~~ http://s883.photobucket.com/user/NicoleNanette/slideshow/

Use the text tool to add your name; the copyright symbol is no longer needed but you can paste it from Character Map if you want. Do include your name and the date.

The text tool will make a new layer, which you can move and/or rotate if you like.

Some good work there! You could also draw the copyright symbol in a new layor (so you can move it or change it later). Save your image (as foo.xcf.gz) to keep the layer separate and then export the final image as jpeg (or whatever).

Welcome to GIMP.
