ImageWell can Watermark your image by placing either text or a graphic on top of your

final image. Watermarking is a great way to protect your images by indicating a

your computer.

Watermark Tab

Clicking on the Watermark tab reveals the options -

a popup list with various styles of watermarking, a

text entry box and below that, some formating

options - alignment, font selection and color.

Selecting 'image' for the watermark style reveals a

small image well for setting the watermark graphic

and an opacity slider.

Feel free to type in some text and select the various styles from the popup list. To

disable the watermark feature, simply select 'None' from the pop up list.

Adjusting the Text Styles

The font family and font size appear in the text entry box exactly as it will be on your

image. For example, if you use Helvetica 12 point, then the watermark text will be that

size regardless of the size of image. Perhaps you want a different font or different size.

Activate the standard OS X font panel by clicking this button.

Using the font panel you can change all the text by selecting all the text and then

changing the font attributes in the font panel. To change just one word or only a portion

of the text, select the word or portion of text you wish to change and set the attributes

in the font panel. Feel free to mix and match styles.

White text on a white background! I can't see the words!

By default the text entry box has a white background, so if you set your watermark text

to white you just can't see the 'polar bear in a blizzard'. No worries, you can change the

background color of the text entry box.

Click the icon button shown above in the Font Panel, then select a color in the Color

Picker Panel. The background of the text entry box will change - now you can see the

'polar bear in a blizzard'.

Changing the background color of the watermark

The color well in the bottom right corner allows you to change the

background color of the watermark. You can select any color from the

Color Picker Panel and adjust the opacity of the color - this will create

a semi-transparent background.

By selecting one of the 'Image' options from the

popup list you can use a graphic as the watermark

for your images. The UI below the popup list

changes to show a small image well (drag and drop

your graphic into this well) and an opacity slider.

Any kind of image can be used, including images

with transparent backgrounds.

All of these features are standard and available in both the free version of ImageWell

and the paid ImageWell Xtra upgrade.
