- Hi...
there are to kinds of watermarks... visible and not visible. I put both on my pictures, just to be safe.
I know you said that you didn't have photoshop, but you should get it. If you don't then try to go to someone who has it on his/her computer or download the 30 day free trial version on their website...

In photoshop under the filters tab at the end of the list there is something called Digimarc. There you will have the specifications and it tell you how big your picture should be and everything. After you've applied the Digimarc you can, with the Text tool in Photoshop write...
copywrite © 2007 your name.
the copywrite law says that it's supposed to be shown this way. first the copywrite then the symbol which you get by typing alt+0169 then the year and then your name.
In photoshop you can use layer blending modes to help you blend your text accordingly to your image so that it doesn't look too strange...
I hope this helps you...
Take Care. If you have anymore questions email me..
- You can use this program to put the water mark on there but you will still have to have a template with your copyright on it. Have a friend make a couple of different ones for you and make them proportional to the size of the photos you will display.
