Photo processing question

Actually managed some good photos this week while diving .
I was shooting in RAW format.

So once I go through crop etc , what format should I save in and how do you add copyright / signature to photo?

I would recommend always keeping it in raw format until you want to print or publish online. At that time convert to JPG and save a copy, keeping the original RAW. For adding watermark there are extensions (plugins) available in Photoshop. There probably are stand alone programs- just do a search online.

I can't say if it's the best but this free Faststone Software has worked for my needs. It's an easy to use interface that allows batch editing for resizing, renaming, adding watermarks, etc. You can also usually add a watermark directly in RAW editing software. In Lightroom, you do it in the export properties window.
