Once you have selected a watermark style, it is time to watermark any photos that will be vulnerable. It is crucial you follow all the proper steps. You want to be sure your image is protected, but not ruined for your own use. Here are the steps to watermarking properly:
• · Isolate your originals - Before you do anything, be sure all of your originals are in a safe place (preferably with a secondary backup, such as on CD or DVD). You will want an original version of all images that are the proper size and are without the watermarks.
• · Copy all images you want watermarked - Figure out which images you intend to watermark, and make a copy of them from those originals. It can be a good idea to create a folder just for those copied images, perhaps calling it "watermark."
• · Batch or one-by-one watermarking - This is a decision you will want to make before you start marking. If you only have a few images, do it one at a time. This allows more quality control, and you can see if a watermark is in a bad spot. If you have dozens of photos, batch watermarking is much more convenient.
• · Pick the watermark's features - In the last step, you decided on the type of watermark. Now, decide how large you want the watermark. Do you want to center the watermark, or tile it across the entire image? How transparent do you want it? Play with each of these options. Keep in mind, the more intrusive the watermark, the better the photo is protected. The downside is the image gets harder to view.
