Photo Watermarking

Adding a watermark image or text to your photo gallery is easy using our photo software. The process is built right into Magic Gallery making it easy to watermark any photo gallery. Follow the example to create your own watermark.

• First begin by adding some photos into Magic Gallery using the "Add Photos" button.
  

• Then from the tools menu select "Edit Watermark"
  
  
   

• This will bring up the following dialog:
  
  
  From here you can select if you want a text or an image watermark. You can set the transparency of image watermarks and you can set the fonts of text watermarks. Once you have selected a watermark type you can then select the location of the watermark.
   

• For our example we will select an image watermark. If you choose an image for your watermark you can make the image totally translucent by having part of the image be totally black. For example here we use this logo image.  Note that any part of the watermark that is 100% black will be shown as transparent in the watermark.
   
    
  
  Once we select the file we can see a small preview in the window. Don't worry if your watermark doesn't fit in the preview it's just shown for example. You can use the transparency slider to get the right watermark effect.
  
  
   

• When you are done click the OK button.

• You will be able to see the watermark on your image immediately however if you are using multi-mega pixel images the size of the watermark may be very small.
   
  
  
  When you create your gallery the actual size of the watermark stays constant so when your gallery is complete the watermark will be a normal size.
   

• Note that the watermark is added only to photos created for a gallery. We don't modify your original photos in any way. This allows you to reuse your original photos as needed.
