I just upgraded the ON1 photo program and cannot find a area that will let me put my name on my picture. Do I need Lightroom to do this or can I get an App that would be better. Truth be told..I have never put my name on any of my photos but would like to start. Thank you.

Usually you do that in camera (that way you never forget)
This data is in the EXIF and as far as I know most program acess and edit that, no need for anything special. Even MS explorer does that and in batch.

If you are talking about a watermark, ON1 Photo 10 allows you to add them according to the features list.

think long and hard about watermarks. look on uhh links to image critique and post processing and see what and how others W/M their pictures (some discrete and others not so).
Remember that w/m can be removed in most cases.Batch watermaking in LR seemed like a good idea to me a while back - now can't remove or stop it except by clone stamping it out one at a time...Duh!
if you want it then most PP programmes have a means of doing it.
have fun

Copyright law no longer requires proof of copyright on a photo or in the associated data. There are people who can imbed copyright code in the data of a document in such a way that only a programmer can find it.
Copyright law does however provide you with a way to establish legal proof of copyright information via registration.
As to whether photograph X is a copy of, an adaptation of, or similar but separate to your registered work, is at the discretion of a judge.

I read an article recently about a company that trolls social sites to "borrow" pictures. They take only the ones that are not watermarked.

Seems like a lot of effort on behalf of the company for something that they can get for a nominal fee from a stock provider.

LR can be set to apply watermarks upon export, so your original images do not contain it. I'm curious how you ended up with images that need to have it removed, since LR is designed so that the original image file is not altered.

Raw images cannot be printed but Jpegs made from them that are printed come with the watermark on them. I have tried all sorts to get rid of it, as advised here, and failed miserably. As I have the disk I might get round to re-installing it and see if it picks up my catalogues and reverts to standard settings for the new catalogue. Its annoying cause all new photos automatically get watermarked whether I want it or not. I only put it on cause I thought I would try it!!!oops

On one supports Watermarking. You can create one , size it, set opacity, and place it anywhere on the photo. To learn how open lesson 11, (Matts lesson tuteral that comes with on1 10)
this can be done in any of the moduals. Hope this helps.

Hmmm... When I print, I do so directly from the (edited) raw file. Yes, I know that in the background LR is creating a jpeg that is sent to the printer. However, in the LR Print module the following allows you to select, or not, a watermark to be printed as part of the image.
If, on the other hand, you are printing from an Exported jpeg, using some other printing application - again there is the LR Export option to include a watermark that can be turned off.
If you have unsuccessfully tried both of these to resolve your issue, I suspect that you may indeed need to reinstall LR, as something seems to be awry that is beyond normal user control.

valid point, if it were not also being done by people farming sites to collect inventory for their own "stock" provision to unsuspecting buyers.
Some stock photo sites are not paying for all the inventory they sell, but stealing them.

With modern technology permitting the easy removal of watermarks and alteration of EXIF data, the only way we're going to stop this theft is with highly sophisticated image comparison search engines that will use minimal resources and either run in the background or run when the computer is not otherwise occupied. With all the photographs all over the place, finding a copy may take days, months or years, but we could start with the big collections first. Then there is the question of whether the original photographer registered the copyright. Computer records won't help, because it's too easy to change the date/time a photograph was made. Or maybe we can come up with a way to permanently imbed a unique code in the file - or at least make it so difficult to find and change that it's not worth the time or effort.

As an amateur, I don't watermark my photos. I don't sell them and I don't mind sharing. If someone wants to use my image I let them. If they make money off it, fine.
If I had a once-in-a-lifetime shot that would win awards and that I could sell for a million dollars I might think about my actions. But I really don't see that happening any time soon.
