For the longest time I have tried to figure out how to create a water mark for my pictures and the trick always seemed to be just out of reach. I tried on Word, but Word doesn't like me So I gave up on that app and went back to Excel. Well as I was creating my Christmas cards for Facebook, Email and Mylot I began testing out the transparency aspect of the WordArt feature. Well low and behold I accidentally created a watermark. Of course I didn't want Merry Christmas to be a water mark so I didn't use it for that but now I have a water mark to use on my shots, can you see the watermark on the above photo? See, it pays to play around with Excel

Not everyone uses it @TiarasOceanView I just happened to work in a place where they used it and got hooked on it. Thank you, I hope you have a fantastic New Year

There are many free programs online to create watermarks, both for photos and videos.

I used to use Lotus but when my boss replaced it with Microsoft Office I learned to use Excel @LadyDuck for me it is the perfect app to do everything I enjoy doing without having to use more than one app to achieve my goals.

Very true, but I bought Excel to do much more than just create text or watermarks or picture effects, I use the spreadsheet portion as well. Not a lot of apps online can do all that Excel can.

@rebelann I never liked Excel, I used Lotus spreadsheet and I use a graphic program for the watermarks.

How did you get paint to do a water mark? I haven't played around with paint that much.

She is a mix, I got her from the humane society and they said her mother was a German Shepherd and they though her sire might be a husky, she does act like a husky even though she does not look like one.

Oh wow, I'll have to check that breed out @josie_ Ally acts a lot like a husky and even german shepherd but her coloring is almost like a shiba inu. I'm glad I could give her a home but I wish they had better information on her lineage. OMG, I just looked up Carolina dog and boy does Ally look like one except her ears don't stand up the way theirs do. Now I wish I had the money to get a DNA test done on her. Thanks for that bit of information, I never would have thought to look that one up.

@rebelann _She is lucky to have found a home with you. The reason I ask is because I have a dog I name Beckett that looks just like your dog and I've been looking at You tube videos to find what kind of breed she is. The closest I can compare her with is a Carolina dog.
