Bonnie H Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I was in Joann's the other day and a lady was talking to me about quilting .. out of the blue. Long story, but in the end I mentioned I quilted for others and she asked me for a business card. I love how new customers happen! This incident has prompted me to start my blog again, so if I give out cards to strangers, they have a place to go and see what I've quilted, kind of a reference of sorts. But I hate to upload pictures and have them appear somewhere else with no recognition to me. Not that I'm a great quilter, but I like my stuff to be mine, so I'd like to add my "blooming quilts" to my pictures somehow. Looking for an EASY and FAST way. Any programs you can recommend for this? I didn't like "Paint" when I tried it the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I add text to my photos in Adobe CS2; but I am sure most photo editing program will do the trick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I was hoping there was a fast way, like merging two documents together without having to open either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
witha'K'quilting Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 You can add a watermark to your photos. I am using a free photo editing program called Photoscape that lets me add text to pictures. I started a new blog/website for customers. Thanks for the reminder to mark the pictures with my name/logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pumpkinpatchquilter Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I use picasa to add my name to pictures. I don't add it to all of my blogging pictures though - I post so often it would just take me forever to do!! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klwheeler Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I upload clients pictures to a private album in Facebook and then they can see progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Kristina, I downloaded Photoscape and am playing with it. It allows me to quickly tag multiple photos and add my business name fast to them all at once. Exactly what I was looking to do. Thank you so much for the recommendation!

Sheagatzi Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've done it through Flickr before. I upload my photos there anyway, and then add the watermark to them. But haven't found anything quick, easy and automatic yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments about my header, Valerie and Marci!!! I played with it yesterday and finally figured out how to make one of my own instead of using a template from Blogger. I'm happy with it, too! Andrea, the program that Kristina recommended lets you batch edit as many photos at once as you want. It's pretty easy and fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pumpkinpatchquilter Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Bonnie - I'm out of likes for the day...but wanted to add, I was on the phone with Time Warner Cable this morning because my email wasn't working - pumpkinpatchquilter is part of my email address. The fellow on the phone asks me, "So, by chance, because your email is pumpkinpatchquilter, do you make quilts?" I answered, "Yes, well, I quilt quilts - I'm a long arm quilter. People send me their tops and backing and I quilt it together for them". He responds, "Wow, what a small world, I only live a couple hours away, my Mother just passed away and I have been looking for someone to quilt an embroidered quilt she was working on..." Isn't it amazing how the universe puts us in the right place at the right time with the right people??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted April 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 Valerie, that is a neat coincidence! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enchanted Quilting Posted April 22, 2013 Report Share Posted April 22, 2013 I've done it through Flickr before. I upload my photos there anyway, and then add the watermark to them. But haven't found anything quick, easy and automatic yet. How do you do it with Flickr? I would be very curious to know...especially when that is what we use on this forum.

Sheagatzi Posted April 23, 2013 Report Share Posted April 23, 2013 Charlotte, I select my photo in Flickr, click on actions just above the poto, edit photo in aviary, and click on add text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
