watermarking is when you add a transparent text or drawing onto an
image. e.g. like this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Visible_digital_watermarking.jpg
here's an quite powerful watermarking function for PIL:

if you want to just add a label to the image, use the ImageDraw module
to draw opaque text on top of the image. you probably want to pick a
suitable TrueType font (see ImageDraw.truetype) instead of the default font.
