I have been asked to watermark photos for sale on the internet. Google shows several programs for doing this and also shows that Photoshop and Paintshop pro have the ability to do this. I have been unable to find any information about this in the Gimp manual.Your kind assistance please.Richard

Adding a watermark could easily be done in GIMP. If you have a lot of images which you need to watermark I would suggest you might be better off using the composite program found in the ImageMagick (http://www.imagemagick.org/) suite of tools. Since you mentioned Photoshop and Paintshop Pro I will assume you are running a Windows OS. The downloads links for ImageMagic indicate that a Binary version of the ImageMagick tools is available for Windows.

There is at least one watermark script on the http://registry.gimp.org/ page. I use the one called watermark (http://registry.gimp.org/plugin?id=2663)

I have downloaded the ImageMagick program,but for the life of me I cannot get it installed / launched so perhaps you could render some more help ??

Make sure you downloaded one of the executable installer packages and not the source code of ImageMagick. I noticed that it might be a bit confusing as to which package to get since there are five different versions available on the download page located at
http://www.imagemagick.org/script/binary-releases.php#windows.

The fifth version offered is only useful if you have a 64-bit computer. If you don't have that, you need to use one of the first four links.

If you are still having problems, it might help to know which installer package you are trying to use, which version of Windows you are using, and some more details of what happens when you try to run the installer including the contents of any error messages you may be seeing.

That is about all I can suggest for now. I don't use ImageMagick under Windows so I haven't tried installing any of the Windows installer packages.
