Hi, I am new to the forum and I was just wondering what is the best program to use to put your trademark/copyright on photos. I am currently trying to learn Lightroom to edit photos. Also do people find that their name works best to place on photos or create a business (?) name? Hope that all makes sense.

Thank you.

Have a look here. It could be done the same way in Lightroom. Sorry that was for Photoshop and PS Elements. In lightroom you use watermark (Edit, Edit Watermarks) in the develop module

What are you looking to do with your images?  Lightroom can definitely put a watermark on your images. I know photographers who just want their name on their images and they include it in one of the corners. On the other end of the spectrum I know some who use a watermark to keep people from stealing their images and the watermark is so obnoxious that it is almost impossible to see the image  Most are somewhere in between, but your goal for having a watermark makes a big difference on what you do and how you do it.

Hi, sorry only just saw your replies. I am looking to hopefully sell some photos in the local shop. I would like to eventually take my photography further but this is just a start.
