WaterMark‪+

If you ever plan on displaying your pictures on a web site, even if you use a script to prevent people from right clicking and saving, search engines like Google will harvest them, and offer them for free lunch on images.google.com. You must protect them by applying a watermark that very precisely asserts your intellectual property.

 

Putting a watermark on pictures can be tedious, one at a time, in a graphic editor such as Photoshop.

 

If you have a lot of pictures to mark, this app is for you. All you have to do, is to place the text and logo on the app where you want them to go on the picture, fix the level of transparency for the text, as well as the logo, and drop all the files onto the app. All of them will be marked, and saved in the folder you set as target.

 

This app came to be when the author (son, grand son of photographers, and photographer himself) needed to mark his pictures. I looked at what existed, and did not find a complete, and convenient solution. So I created my own.

 

Please, if you see something not working quite right, or have an idea for improvement, contact me. I will be glad to see how to implement it. Simply click on the contact button. I will reply right away.
