August Fun and More on Watermarking
We love you C family!

Sweet picture of Brecken and Krissy!
Teagan is a little worn out from all this fun but looking forward to fall festivities! Tomorrow is Isla's 4 month checkup so I'll be back to making special posts for her and Teagan to mark their milestones. I can't believe how much they have changed over the summer!
In my last post I linked to an article that discussed the importance of protecting our online images. If you want to take a look at the article I referenced click here. I promised to follow up with some easy ways to watermark images so here's the scoop as I know it. Special thanks to Kelly's Korner which is one of my very favorite blogs. Kelly provided a ton of information on how to do this. You may have a better or faster way and if so please let us know in the comments section. I am always looking for ways to make this blog better and more effective especially when it comes to security features!
For now I am using Picknik.com. It's easy and free but the downside is you have to edit each picture and resave it to your computer. To do so follow these steps:
Upload a picture onto Picnik
-Select Create
-Select Text
-Add your blog address or other marker
-Pick your font
-Position & resize the watermark
-Click Add
On the right side of the screen
-Fade to 50%
-Under Advanced Blend Modes select Overlay
-Select Share and Save
-Save watermarked photo back onto your computer
Some photo programs like Lightroom can be set up to automatically add a pre-set watermark as you export your pictures.You can also load pictures on your blog from Flickr or Photobucket and use a private account. This would ask for a password to see the picture.
Two more steps would be to disable right click and left click on pictures. Disable right click
Disable left click
That's the scoop I have! Hope everyone is off to a great week! I can't wait to see how much my chunky monkey weighs this morning! My bet is she is at least up to 14 pounds!
