If you want could control over how you watermark your image then I suggest downloading Photoscape. It's a free program that has tool for adding text. It's very helpful - it also comes with many other wonderful features.

Thanks James i'll check it out! Is it like Paintshop ProX3, i have this software, and that also has a watermarking service, but it directs you off to another page to pay..i know i probably sounds really stingy, and we know the watermarking service isnt that expensive, but im really skint, and im itching to get my webpage out there, and im not sure if i should just put un-watermarked shot on there.., especially if the quality really stinks!

I've never heard of Piantshop but Photoscape in no way asks you for money or direct you to anymore sites. 

 

Also watermarking is very important. Also I suggest never uploading photos over 700px on their largest side to the internet, just to be safe.

Leave the EXIF data attached and skip watermarks.  Watermarks just deface your image and can be removed in a few minutes by anyone who is competent using an editor.  As James suggests, size your image for a monitor.

 

If you really must, you can use Paintshop to put text on your image for free.  There are a couple of ways of doing that without going to an outside program.

EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format. The format is part of the DCF standard created by JEITA to encourage interoperability between imaging devices.

 

More relevant perhaps is that it is the data that is part of the image file containing the camera settings and space for a copyright notice.  Most editing software can access the EXIF data and there are standalone viewers and editors  available on the Internet.

That's an easy watermark to remove.

This took round about 20 minutes and that'sa pretty basic edit. It would need more finessing to get it to look more believable . I used CS4 but I'd imagine (depending on experience) one could accomplish this with just about any photo editing software.
