Here is an easy way to watermark your photos using Gimp
Some images that you post online you wish to protect. A very simple way to watermark your image is to to create a transparent image the same size as your original, put your logo or website url in white, copy that to a new layer in the original image and change the transparency to what ever pleases you.
Original image
Create an image the same size
Use the ‘advanced options when you create the watermark and make the background transparent.
In your original image to go Dialogs->Layers
In the layers dialog create a new layer same as the first by clicking the copy button on the bottom ( 2 pictures )
Go to the watermark image and click edit->copy
Go to the original image and click edit->paste
You can use the arrow keys on your key board to move the watermark’s position
Slide the Opacity slider in the layers dialog until you like the way the watermark looks in your image.

I’m totally new to using Gimp. Hat a little trouble figuring out the whereabouts of ‘advanced options’. Otherwise all worked well. Great tip…
Thank you!
