Then, when you have some pics you want to upload, the first thing to do is to run uMark You can add as many pics as you like (well, up to 50, anyway) and then save them to a new folder (though I tend to stick them on my desktop so I can find them, then either move them or delete them later). It only takes seconds to do 1: Open uMark Lite 2: Click on Text and you'll see: 3: Put in the text you want to use. Then click on the big square saying "Click to change" until the text appears where you want it in the preview Next, click on "Select images to apply watermark". At this point, you can also choose the font, font size, font colour, and "opacity" I normally use 50% opacity, but adjusting this will make the watermark either less or more visible 4: You'll see - just click on "Add Images". That will bring up a standard file dialog box so you can find the pics you want to watermark. You can select more than one at a time 5: That gives you - you can see I've entered some files. I also clicked on "Browse" to set where uMark should save the watermarked pics to 6: Finally, click "Start", to do the job, and, when it's done, just close uMark's windows Took me longer to post all this than it does to actually use the program!
