Adding visible watermarks
You can place a visible watermark consisting of text and/or a graphic on any raster image. Whether you take professional photos or just share photos on public websites, adding a discrete mark to your photos reminds viewers who took the shot. This feature simplifies the task of adding a logo or other graphic, and you can choose from professional effects like embossing to give it a subtle look.
You may find that the watermark graphic looks better when you create it with a transparent background. If so, you’ll need to save the graphic in a file format that supports transparency (such as PspImage, TIF, or PNG). You can use images that do not have a transparent background, but be aware that the watermark will display a rectangle around it, although you can adjust the opacity of the overall graphic.
