What it sounds like you are trying to do is insert a watermark into your image. There are a few tools available to do this task. I have heard good things about http://sourceforge.net/projects/jaco-watermark/ but have not used it. There are options to do this in other photo editing tools as well. What applications do you currently use?

I have the whole Cs5 package photoshop Illistrator ect. Tried to google it but I am not putting in the proper words.
Thanks Masterghi, I was thinking a new layer was the step and make it a action or a droplet so I can do it to many photos. I am not fimiliar with using smugmug. Thanks for the help!
Do you put your Studio name on each Print?
I have been putting my studio name on each print I order for the customer. I recently had a customer tell me that this is unprofessional and that if this is the way I conduct business he will not be happy. He requested photos on CD so there is no way I can do back printing. Do you embed your studio name on each print or am I wrong in doing this? Thank you so much for your professional feedback.
I recall professional studios from back in the day had a small gold scripted watermark in one corner, and I'm not sure those days are gone since SM introduced the printmark feature (http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93344-printmarks). As always, your business model will vary based on your clientele.
I want the water mark for not only my photo's but my paintings I put on web sites so they cant be stolen. I am not a sm user yet, I havent taken the time to set up my account but it sounds like it provides a lot of steps of ease! Thanks for your input!
You'll find that you can set things to auto-watermark upon upload via a gallery preset. I never even think about watermarking anymore. It just happens.

There is.
If you are using Photoshop just create a new layer, add the text you want to that layer and then change the opacity of the layer.
If your photos are on SmugMug you can add a watermark image with the text you want and SmugMug will lay it out for you.
