App of the Week: Watermark Your Photos

App Name: Marksta
Price: $1.99
Available Platforms: iPhone
What does this app do? Photojournalist John McHugh knows the pain photographers feel when others use their work without attributing credit. And so, he created Marksta, a photo app released this past week for the iPhone that allows users to add watermarks to their photos before sharing their work through social media. Through text-editing tools, users can copyright their images, as well as add twitter and website addresses.
"If I get lots of people putting their names on photographs, I hope it will give them an idea of ownership," says McHugh, who spent the past year creating the app with an independent developer. "Hopefully, it will make people less cavalier toward taking others' creative works."
To that end, McHugh's goal was to make a simple, intuitive app easy enough for novice users to figure out, but complex enough for the most adept professionals to appreciate. Load a photo
