watermarking can be an effective way to add copyright information to images.
Many bloggers like to add their domain name to images they publish on their
blog. This is on the one hand understandable, considering the plethora of
scraper sites that like to copy text and media without link back and copyright
notifications.
Regular readers on the other hand may find the watermarks irritating, as they 
tend to reduce the quality of the screenshots and images, if done wrong.
Watermark Magick is a free bilingual digital watermarking software for Windows. The program’s main 
feature is to process a folder full of images at once. The main interface 
contains all configuration options.
The source and destination directories are configured at the top. The source 
directory contains the pictures that need to be watermarked, the destination 
directory will be used to store the processed images.
The watermarking options are configured on the left. Here it is possible to 
select the type of watermark that should be applied. The program supports image 
and text watermarks, and can display them in a frame if desired.
Various settings, including the position on each image can be defined here as 
well. Finally, it is possible to include subdirectories in the process.
The right side of the interface lists advertising options, which are 
completely optional. The options can be used to add additional textual 
information to the images that are processed by the software.
Below that are thumbnails of the original images and images with watermarks. 
A click on the big green button starts the watermarking. The images with 
watermarks thumbnail displays how the watermarked images look like after they 
have been processed.
This makes it easier to apply corrections to get the watermarks in the right 
locations on the images.
Watermark 
Magick is an easy to use program that is compatible with 32-bit and 64-bit 
editions of Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It requires the Microsoft 
.net Framework 2.0.
