So I have been trying to figure out how to make a logo on my pictures. I have been taking pictures for friends and I want to have a logo so when people see the pictures they know who took them. But I have not been able to figure this out do I have to have a certain program for this? Would the people the picture are for be able to take off the logo? Can anyone help me please!!!

I use a watermark, but I'll be the first to admit unless the watermark is placed directly over the subject (which I do not do) they are easy to remove. Just crop, and clone. Done!

How to make one, well that depends on how detailed you want it to be and your skills. If you are just using text then create the text in photoshop (or elements), save file as a PNG. When you want to place it on the photo, go to File > Place and find the file. Move logo to the spot you want it and adjust the occupancy. Flatten and your done.

I have mine set as an action in Photoshop, really easy.

Create your logo in Photoshop on a clear layer and save the image as a PNG
Use EasyBatchPhoto _ http://www.yellowmug.com/ to place the copy right stamp on your images.

In either Photoshop or Photoshop Elements you can make a 'custom brush' of text or graphic (single color) that can be added to photo wiyh one click. Change size by using
the '[' or ']' keys. Change color by changing 'foreground'
color. Keep 'caps lock' off.
