The person I had doing some of my editing is no longer with me. How do I put a copyright with company name on/in a picture? For some reason I am having one heck of a hard time getting it to stay. I am using PSP8 and I have it written, but can not get it to stick.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Photoshop... are you using layers?

If you are adding the text with a layer, you can "flatten image" which collapses all of the layers into one, then save the image.

Stupid question, but are you remembering to save the file? Maybe you are saving it to a location that you aren't expecting, and it isn't "sticking" because you are loading the original file?

Also check your opacity: is it set to 0%? (It is in the layers properties box, usually at the right hand side of your screen.)

I do it by making a new file with the copyright in text. Then save it as a brush. You then can use the brush on any pic.

Paint Shop Pro? Try This:

1.Select the Text tool from the Paint toolbox
2.With your cursor now a text tool, click anywhere inside the image to launch the Add Text dialog
3.Enter the text string in the field (your copyright text) and make your selections regarding color, font size, font face, etc, then click OK
4.You should now see the text string as a movable object that you can position anywhere on the image. When you find the desired location to drop the text string, right-click on the image. This will "stick" the text string where you positioned it.
5. Make any final changes to the image as desired and save.

Hope this helped!

You shouldn't have to 'flatten' the image, simply saving it as a jpg will do that.

If you're using Windows and Photoshop, the quickest way I know is to go to character map in Windows, copy the symbol and add it as a text to the image via Photoshop, then save it as a jpg...
