Watermarks for Skins, Texture Packs, and Projects

"Because" is spelled wrong in there, I'll fix that soon.

With the changes to the texture packs, the blank space for putting logos is less abundant since the blocks and items all get their own images. I don't know if anything will have sheets that you can put a logo in, so you might have to stick to the other texture pack techniques.

Pointless Fact of the Day: The images for the tutorial are all watermarked very lightly (except the watermarks cont. one since it was made later).

Well you can always use free programs like GIMP and paint.net(I started out with paint.net) before or instead of getting photoshop, which is about $700(unless you get student edition or on sale).

Most skin thieves still won't bother, either they will be to lazy or won't read this blog anyways. Thieves that are good at what they do can remove almost all watermarks, photoshop even has a special delete ability to easily remove them.

True, like Skindex for example, you don't edit the real image, you edit the skin model.
