How do put a watermark on images posted on internet sites ?

admin — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 04:40:05 +0000

I noticed that watermarks are superimposed on some images posted in internet selling sites like eBay and other commercial sites.

I want to put watermark on images that I upload so that people will be discouraged from downloading and using the image posted.

Thank you. Have a nice day !

Many sites allow you to upload an image which they will superimpose on your photos; if you don’t want to do this, make a layer in your editing program, place on that layer the text/image that you want to use as your copyright and set the transparency to an appropriate level.

Save this as a new file before flattening the layers or you won’t be able to remover the watermark from files you sell or print. You can do this with a batch of photos in Photoshop (an action) or PaintshopPro.

There are also programs like "Sign My Image" to do the same thing without a high-end editor installed; and you can also apply digital (invisible) watermarks to prove your ownership of a disputed image, as well as web sites where you can register your photos for a similar protection.

How do I get images and backgrounds off a computer when they are not in the normal spot?

I am trying to remove background images from windows, but they are not in "My Images". I don’t know the name of the file. I have already checked "show hidden files" but this is not my computer and the owner has so many files I can’t locate anything.

I am running WIndows XP 2002 SP3
Is there anything I can do?

Backgrounds here: C:\Windows\Web\Wallpaper

Some in one of the Windows’ Themes folder, if not in C:\Users\User_Name\AppData|Roaming\Microsoft\Windows Photo Gallery.

Some Themes are here: C:\Windows\Resources\Themes

How to stop images becoming pixelated when you upload them to your website?

admin — Sat, 26 Nov 2011 06:01:20 +0000

Every time I use an image on my website with the tag, it always becomes distorted, discoloured, and fuzzy, even when I make sure the image to upload is exactly the same size as the space I want to put it in. Why is this? And how do I stop it? I source images from paint files, is this not a good way?

I "believe" web sites compress the images. This improves the download/response time of the page, but it also causes image degradation and pixelation.

How do I layer 2 separate images together as 1?

admin — Thu, 24 Nov 2011 01:20:24 +0000

I’ve created fashion illustration images on paperboard that have a white background. I’ve downloaded them to my computer. I want to make them more dynamic by layering them onto colorful backgrounds, which are separate images on my computer. How do I layer the 2 separate images to create 1 image? I can’t just take an image and plop it onto the background, as it will show the white background of the illustration. I’m looking for a free online image editor with clear tutorials.

Experiment with gimp. It’s similar to Photoshop.

what is the best way to transfer images onto a shirt?

admin — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 06:56:08 +0000

I have a heat press. I have heat transfer paper. When I transfer my images to the shirt, there is a glue outline where there is no color on the image. I want to transfer JUST the image or text to the shirt. Do I need decals or another type of paper? I have an inkjet photo printer. Do I need special inks? How can I transfer just the ink from the image or text. No glue, no paper. Is this possible?

How do you have multiple images in Gimp?

admin — Thu, 20 Oct 2011 01:06:04 +0000

Ok, so I need to add 3 images on Gimp. One needs to be in front, and two others on the behind. (much like a skull and crossbones with different pictures) But the main problem is that the images create a white square that I can’t figure out how to make transparent. And also I can’t figure out how to make the the images that are supposed to be behind the main image get there.

Depends on what you’re starting out with.

1. If Your 3 Images Have Clear Backgrounds
If this is the case then GIMP is adding the white background. When you create new project (File > New), go to "Advanced Options" and under "Fill With" choose "Transparency".

2. If Your 3 Images Have White Backgrounds Already
If this is the case you need to manually remove the white.
Step 1: Layer > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel
Step 2: Use the "Fuzzy Select Tool" to select the white, then press "Delete" (or Edit > Clear)

Here’s a similar demo that involves deleting a white background, but keeping your image:

Images Behind Others
To move the images around relative to each other, be sure to add the pictures as Layers (File > Open As Layers). Then from the "Layers" window you can move one on top of the other.

How to use multiple images to create one long image?

admin — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 05:45:10 +0000

So I have these images and there are 5 of them. Instead of having them all single, is there any way to make these 5 images one image? So, like each image would be under the next etc. It would be going down vertical. Any program to do this? Or tutorial?

Any graphics editor will do this easily.

Paint
Paint Shop Pro
Photoshop
Gimp

Etc. Many such editors are free. Do a Google search and download one. After you’ve done that, open the editor and create a new, blank image large enough to hold all five images. Then cut and paste each of the five images, one at a time, into your new image. Should take just a minute or two. Done.

How to put still images in 16×9 format using Windows movie maker?

admin — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 05:03:14 +0000

Im using Windows Movie maker (2007 i think) and when i put my still images in my video it has black bars on the sides of them and they arent full widescreen. My video is 16×9 but the still images arent..I have the settings on 16×9 too..How do i fix this?

Most cameras have photo ratio menu options including 9:16 (wide-angle). You can reset your camera and take new, wide-angle photos or you can open each photo in a photo editor and crop them in a 9:16 height to width ratio (4.5 in X 8 in) or you can just get used to the black bars. The standard ratio for photo and video size is 4:3.

If you have a photo editor and know how to use it, you can make a 9:16 template to put each of your 4:3 photos on. You could put a subtle pattern or design on the area around the photo so it just wouldn’t be stark and dark black.

Copyright question about images, screenshots, and covers from video game for my website?

admin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 17:19:13 +0000

Hello. I am planning on making a video game review website. Obviously these images are copyrighted to the companies involved. How would I go about crediting or using these images on the website with no legal issues? Thanks!

As long as the images, screenshots, etc., are used sparingly and directly in connection with product reviews, their use will typically fall under the fair-use provisions of U.S. copyright law, meaning that you don’t need permission to use them. The content of your site must be essentially created by you, with the images used only for the essential needs of illustration of your reviews. You must not include anything that would allow a visitor to obtain some part of the game that he’d normally have to pay for, and your own content must greatly overwhelm the borrowed images.

For information on various types of fair use and how they work, see this page:

http://www.centerforsocialmedia.org/fair-use/related-materials/codes/code-best-practices-fair-use-online-video

You also have the option of simply asking the copyright holders (the game producers) for permission, but if your use qualifies as fair use, you don’t need permission. The only problem is that fair use is only decided for sure if you go to court, so unless and until you get sued, you can never be absolutely certain that your use qualifies as fair use. If it’s a legitimate review site, the risk is probably low, but it’s up to you. You can consult a lawyer for an opinion, if you wish, although that’s still just an opinion, and you’ll never know for certain unless you are unfortunate enough to be sued.

Most legitimate review sites have no problems, though.
