2. watermark

2.1. Select watermark

The program includes several watermarks that can be selected from the dropdown menu but you can still use your own custom watermark. Custom watermark can be any image, such as images in .PNG image file format.

Important: If you create a blurred image with an image editing tool that supports layers, the edges will look smoother by storing the image as a .PNG image with transparency (32-bit images ).

2.2. Blur image manipulation

2.2.1. Making transparent

For example, you can download a simple Bitmap (bmp) blur image with a blue font. You want to remove that blue font on the watermark to make it transparent. It's easy, just click on "Make Transparent" and the dialog box will appear.

2.2.2. Flip and turn

The program also contains many basic functions to flip and rotate the watermark. It is important that the width and height of the image be the same, otherwise those parts may be cut off.

2.2.3. Reverse

Click "Invert" to reverse the image.

2.3. Position the watermark and contour distance

Watermark can be placed in many positions:

• Watermark center.
• Four corners.
• Four corners + center.
• Watermark upper left.
• The upper watermark is in the middle.
• Watermark upper right.
• Watermark on the left.
• Watermark on the right.
• Watermark on the bottom left.
• Watermark on the bottom right.
• The bottom watermark is in the middle.

"Border Gap" allows determining the distance between x / y border of source image and watermark.

This setting cannot work when using "Centered Watermark" or "Floodfill".

2.4. Opacity and glass watermark ruler

The watermark will be resized corresponding to the source image, for example, if the source image is 3000x2000 pixels and the watermark should be 10%, the size of that watermark in the source image will be 300x200 pixels.

Opaque map determines when source image is illuminated through watermark. High opacity means that the watermark allows for less light source images and lower opacity.

2.5. Watermark preview

The preview function allows you to view the watermark and selected options with your source image in the "Files" section.

Click on the arrows <> to browse through your images.

3. Text

Arclab Watermark Studio also allows adding text directly to images without having to use graphic watermark or combination of image and text watermark. The text can be formatted through the fonts installed on your system in any color and style.

3.1. Add custom text

Text selection allows you to add custom text. The text may look the same for all images or be different for each image.

Select the image and click to edit the text directly.

Replace:

Type the text in the edit field and click on "Update" to update the selected image.

Click "Update All" to use the typed text for all images. Click "Reset All" to remove text from all images.

3.2. Enter custom text

Click "Import Custom Text" to open the import dialog box.

The program can import most of the information stored in images (EXIF comments, IPTC, JPEG), file names, .

4. The results

The trial version (demo) will add additional watermark to the resulting image. This additional watermark will not be included in the licensed (unlocked) version.

Please specify the resulting options (folder, format, size) and click on "Start" to start image processing.

4.1. Results directory

Click "." to specify the resulting folder for watermarked images or click "Replace source images and make a backup of the original files" to backup and overwrite source files.

This mode is useful when you want to process images from different locations or you want to handle folders with subfolders. The image to be backed up is a copy of the original image (in the same folder) with the .bak extension. If the backup file already exists or the program cannot create a backup file, that image will be ignored.

Important :

Note that there is no undo function so you should make a copy of the folders / images first.

.Bak images are not deleted by the program.

Check the "Rename Images" option if you want to rename the images. The file prefix (eg IMG) will be followed by a 5-digit image number. The extension will be created automatically based on the selected format.

4.2. Picture format

Please select the format and image quality.

Support program:

• JPEG Image Format (* .jpg).
• Portable Network Graphics (* .png).
• Windows Bitmap (* .bmp).
• Tagged Image File Format (* .tif).
• Graphics Interchange Format (* .gif) (256 colors).

If you choose JPEG format (the default format) then you can specify quality. The default quality is 80%, which will produce good quality results. The higher the JPEG quality, the larger the file size.

4.3. Result size

Select the resulting size (image size) in pixels or check the "Keep original size" option.

If you choose to resize the image, the program will resize all the images according to the selected width and height, but it will always keep the aspect ratio, for example, 4: 3 images will not be changed to 5: 4 or 16: 9.

The program supports different resizing algorithms:

• Box (fast, simple).
• Bi-Cubic (advanced, beautiful results).
• Bi-Linear (beautiful results) (default setting).
• Bi-Spline (perfect results).
