====================================
A Google search for Add Copyright or
Add Watermark will turn up several choices.

FWIW...no matter which method you finally
decide on...be sure to "Save As" and rename
your new files so they will not be overwritten
(replaced) with the edited version.

Maybe the following freebie would be worth a try:

Here's another freebie that is easier to use but it
will only add the Copyright to one photo at a time:

ImageWaterMarker

Just download it, unzip it and run it...no installation
required. If you decide you cannot use it...just delete it.

It will only do one image at a time but once you
have your copyright adjusted the way you like
it...you can open a new photo and save it very
quickly and the same overlay will be added to
each successive photo.
