Is it possible to add visible/invisible watermark to photos already uploaded to Picasa Web/500px/Flickr?

Do they preserve EXIF(metadata) of the image?

I am looking for free tools/services. If downloading software is required, I would prefer Linux/Ubuntu.

Update: In the light of two answers already given; adding a clarification. A solution that lets adding the watermark without downloading the photos from the respective locations is asked for.

What are you trying to do here? I have to admit, I can see why it was down voted as the question, given the way it was worded, would imply a less-than-savoury need here. – John Cavan♦ Aug 21 '12 at 3:09

Ok. I am not sure what you are asking, but I can try to guess.

If a photo is already uploaded, it is rather difficult to modify, as that copy is no longer on your computer.

I suggest downloading the photo, applying the watermark in photoshop/gimp (A free, open source version of photoshop), and re-uploading. I am not sure if this will preserve the metadata though.

As to how to apply a watermark in gimp, that is another question entirely.
