Friday Freebie--Free eZy Watermark Lite App

I hadn't really thought about watermarking my Instagram photos or Facebook photos until my blogging partner, Tina, put together this post regarding watermarking images on Facebook (in the post she directs you to a great video on how to batch watermark your images).   

In case you were not already aware of this..... Facebook (and other social media platforms) has a clause written in their user agreement that allows them to use your photos for commercial purposes.   You can see all the legal details here.   

Having this brought to my attention made me realize that I should watermark more of my images, including those I take on my iPhone and share on Instagram or directly to Facebook.  So I went in search of a watermarking app....and of course, there is an app for that!

The app I am now using is a free app called eZy Watermark Lite.  eZy Watermark allows you to add an image or text watermark to your images that you can easily resize, rotate and move.  The app is compatible for both the iPhone or iPad.

Some of the key features include:

1. Adds text and image watermark.
2. Import picture from camera, library and iTunes share.
3. Swiping gestures to ease of use for rotate, relocate and resize watermark text and image. 
4. Change opacity of watermark text and image.
5. Change color and font of watermark text.
6. Save pictures in 3 different resolutions.
7. Save pictures in library and iTunes share.
8. Sharing pictures on Facebook, twitter and via email.
9. Save Facebook login settings

Below are a few images that I watermarked using this app.  It was quick and simple to use.  The only feature I wish it had was the ability to save your watermark so that you do not have to retype it each time.   

Friday Freebies: BirDesignShop Templates for Photographers

We love a great Friday Freebie here at Moms Who Click - and we have found a number of amazing sites that have wonderful templates, storyboards, textures or tips to share freely.  Our latest find is a wonderful site called BirDesign Shop.

A new photography friend told me about this site after I saw a wonderful coupon she published on her page.  I loved hers so much I created my own, but I love that you can grab one of the "fresh-out-of-the-box" ones at BirDesignShop - they are super easy to use and help make marketing a lot easier for your studio.

Check out the freebie for September, a terrific card to advertise your holiday mini sessions.  Of course you can customize the text for just about any holiday you choose.  The bright colors stand out and scream "check me out!"

So head on over and create your holiday mini session coupon. And check out the other wonderful designs like the one below:

For those of you who know just enough Photoshop to cause havoc, here's a free link to the one I created using BirDesign's for inspiration.  I customized this using my logo colors and a holiday inspired background.  To customize yours just use the dropper tool to select the color you want from your own logo, then use the paintbrush to change it up.

 Happy Marketing!
