Here is the watermark creating tutorial that I made. It's not quite at beginner skill level, it's more intermediate, so some of you may have to watch it a few times to figure everything out. I'll try to make my next tutorial more beginner friendly.

I also wanted to answer some questions that where posted on my entries, so I'll do that in this entry.

"Kurtis, thanks for sharing this info but I was wondering how long does it take you to get this done for the one pic? I am taking my pics inbetween blogging, shuffling kids and other household duties and would LOVE to do pics like yours if time were available. Thanks so much." - by Denise (imchatty)

It has taken me up to one hour to photograph one card, but normally it only takes 8-15 minutes to take the photo, then probably 15-20 minutes to edit the photo and write my blog entry. Overall, it takes 30-45 minutes to photograph, edit, and write the description for my card.

"So cool! Thanks for sharing. Can you maybe touch more on the png and jpeg issues in your next lesson? I am a little lost there. Do you save an original pic and then your modified/edited pic so you have the original as back up should something happen to it? Thanks again!" - by Denise (imchatty)

My camera takes the picture in .jpg, and then I will save a copy of the edited file as a .psd(photoshop document) and as a .png. I save the .psd so that I can re-edit the photo, if I decide to do my watermark differently, and as a .png in order to display on the web. I personally like .png's on the web better than .jpg's because of detail, so I normally save any file that goes to the web as a .png.
