Watermarking Digital Photographs

I've decided that I want to watermark alot of my photo's that i'm putting on the net, to stop people stealing and using them.

So does anybody know of a good application (preferably free) that can add a semi-transparent image on top of my existing photo's. I could of course add the watermarks individually, but i have large batches to do.

Does anybody else watermark images and stuff? what do you find the best way to mark a large batch at once?

-Nell

EDIT: I see there are plenty of watermarking apps availible to BUY on the net, but im really looking for a no-cost solution.

For single images you could just fade layers on photoshop, but since you have a lot of them to do I really can't help.


BTW the first image you have to watermark is the Bitter Twisted Christian Virgin Alliance one

for my business actually. I can't afford for the images to be copied unmarked, hence the request for information.

The best would be to have a flash site using only thumbmnails...so even print screen wouldnt get you anything, and then have it so you have to scroll around to view a large image...

use low resolution images and write your web address at the bottom its called free advertising which is a good thing. since ur just starting out no one knows ur website exists so i dont think u will have a big problem with ppl stealing ur images btw if you cant afford to buy a dirt cheap image editor i think something is wrong with ur business model

why would you post high resolution images? If its true, you could sue them for a lot money. its not that hard to prove they're your images if you have the original. digital pics have "finger print" that cant be hidden.
