Second step is to select the watermark you will add to your images. Simply click add watermark button, you will see many options to select from.
 
Add text watermark;
 
The best is white background and black borders. This will not affect the image and will be clearly visible.  You can add any text you want and customize it regarding the color, font, border, bold, italic, underline. You can also insert special characters using the built-in collection. Many text effects are available to render your watermark a professional look (for example 3D, outline). In addition, watermark effects are available and help you to have a stylish looking watermark. for example, transparency, rotation (normal, diagonal, inverted or specify your own angle value between 0 and 360), tiling (horizontal or vertical). You will be able to change the location of your watermark whether using preset positions or customized place or more easily drag the watermark to the location you want. You can also specify padding or the margins according to the position selected. It may be right or left or top or buttom.
In addition, you can insert watermark macro, for example date, folder name, image name with or without extension, image path, and so on. These are called EXIF properties. Those which are displayed are the available ones for the image. You can also specify auto numbers as watermark for your image using auto number macro. Simply specify the starting number and the minimum number of digits in the pop up window. That’s all!

If you have added a watermark and to an image and you don’t like it, simply uncheck this watermark and it will be removed. Please remember to do this before saving the image. Once you save the watermark on the image it is final and can’t be removed
