Watermark images

A watermark is a visually distinguishing mark that gets placed on your image and can be used to identify and protect your images as well as promote you or your organization.

The program allows you to control where the watermark is placed and how transparent it will be displayed. The more transparent, the more your images show underneath the watermark.

Shozam supports the following watermark types:

• Copyright graphic symbol (watermark is a © copyright symbol)
• Custom text (enter your text, such as your name or copyright information and format it as you like)
• Custom graphics (e.g. a logo or a signature)

How to use this feature

• In the Watermark images section, check the Enable box. The program will automatically generate a watermark symbol on all images in the generated gallery
• Click on the Placement drop down menu and select the location where you want the watermark to appear on your image
• Use the slider bar to select how transparent you want the watermark. The default is 20 on a scale of 0 (not visible) to 100 (fully opaque)
• Select either the Copyright symbol ©,  Custom text or create your own Custom graphic to import into the wizard

To import a Custom Graphic for watermarking:

• Select Custom graphic in the Watermark images section of the tab
• Click the Browse button and select your watermark graphic ( use jpg, gif, bmp or png file formats)
• When your gallery is generated, your Custom graphic will appear on your images as a watermark
