GIMP Tutorial – Watermark Photos

How to watermark photos in GIMP, by making a re-usable custom GIMP brush, for quick and easy watermarking of multiple images. For this tutorial you will need to install GIMP with Python support for Windows (in Linux this is already installed). Here's a link to help: gimptricks.deviantart.com and you will also need the Layer Effect Plugin (Python version) here: registry.gimp.org - if you can't get Python installed there is a Script-fu version of the plugin too - but it has no preview.
