I believe the program Gimp can do that. If not, there is a plug-in for gimp to do watermarking. I'm not at my work computer so I don't recall the name of it off the top of my head here's gimps site:

good luck!

On the mac I can recommend iWatermark. I think they may have a PC version too now, can resize, watermark, ICC profile info, rename processed files and some other really useful features for $20. I probably use it daily to watermark my stuff.

Just a neat simple little app.

Is Herb going to quit is day job? If you don't find your answer here I could ask a couple concert pro photogs I know and see what they say ;) Edit to add I use photoshop on the pc but not sure if you were looking for freeware or shareware.

I'm not the greatest when it comes to graphics but I did manage to follow an online tutorial for creating watermarks in photoshop
now I  have two preset watermarks and it literally only takes me 10 minutes to do all my pics after a night of shooting a show
of course I spend a little extra time to make sure the watermarks can't just be easily cropped out but at the same time I prefer not to plop them right in the middle of the photo

You should look up how to make a Watermark Action in Photoshop.

You can use File > Scripts > Image Processor and save all images in a folder or whatever is open into JPG, PSD, or Tiff and also run the watermark action, as an option in Image Processor, and it'll take about a minute of your time.

Ditto , I just created an action and use it to do an entire directory at a time.  Makes it pretty painless.  The biggest issue is I don't know of a way for Photoshop to detect Portrait vs landscape orientation on photos and make the watermark appear proportional.
