Watermarking is used to protect your work from being copied. It works by overimposing a text on a picture on the image, claiming for example the ownership of the photograph. It can also be used to write something on the image, like a dedication or your name/company.
This tab supports overimposing a single text to the image, although the text can be repeated. Adding multiple watermark texts is currently not supported in the AZImage GUI. It can be realized by manually editing the format files.
The watermark is shown on the preview area in the final size - as on the output image. It is not scaled down, to allow you to correctly judge the final size.
The watermark text can be entered in the edit cotrol. The font and its properties can be set in the corresponding dialogue, opened by clicking on the "Font" button. The "Settings" button opens a dialogue that allows to enter options like the size of the region of the image that will be watermarked, the horizontal and vertical distance between 2 watermarks, etc.
By selecting a bitmap to overimpose on the image, you can use a logo instead of plain text, for example. Please note that this picture will only be used if no watermark text is given. The options set in the settings dialogue apply to picture watermarks as well. The fost settings, naturally not. For the selected watermark picture, you can set a transparent color. All pixels of the source image that are under pixels of this color of the watermark picture will be shown without any modification.
The transparency slider allows to set the transparency of the watermark text or image. The transparency applies to the watermark text and all pixels of the watermark image that are not transparent.
