I'm Not Happy With How They're Coming Out I Want To Change Them Or Something
So I Will Have To Specify An Output Directory It's Preferable To Use An Output Directory Because Then You Can Just Delete Them From There And Run It Again With The New Settings So To Specify The Output Directory You Can't Click On This Unless You Take Off This Checkbox Next To The Use Original Path As Output As Long As This Is Active The Images The Resulting Images Are Going
To Be Saved In The Same Place As The Original Ones
So I Need To Take This Off And Then I Will Be Able To Select These Three Dots Here To Specify The Output Folder If You Need To You Can Make A New Folder And Then With The Choice Of Folder Selected All Of The Watermarked Images Going To Be Placed In Here All You Have To Do Now Is Specify Which Format You Want The Resulting Images To Be By Default They're Going To Be Jpeg You Can Go To The Options Here And Specify Quality I Want The Best Quality And Maybe Progressive You Know This Is Up To You Or You Can Choose One Of These Other Formats Click Ok And Then When You're Ready You Can Click Go This Will Actually Start The Processing With The Images In The List And Applying This Watermark Effect With Your Options Let's See What Happens Okay
So The Operation Has Completed Let's See What We Have Double Click To Go Inside And You Can See The Logo Is In The Center Of All The Images With No Transparency On It So There You Go It's Not Too Large These Images Are Quite Large They're Like 5000 Pixels Each If You Want Your Image To Take More Space You Can Actually Make A Larger Image And Use A Larger Image As A Watermark In Fact Let Me Show You With An Image That Is About 4000 Pixels So Again Go To The Tools Menu Badge Processing
I'm Going To Remove All The Images And Add My Own And In The Transformations I'm Going To Go Again To Add Watermark To My Transformations And Choose The Image File And This Time I Created Another One That's Called Watermark 4000 When It's 4000 Pixels Click Open And The Opacity Is 100 Now But Let Me Make It Less Because I Want The Watermark To Be Visible But Not Too Visible Because Now It's Going To Be Much Larger
So I'm Going To Put Opacity Down To 50 Percent You Probably Want It To Even Less Depending On Your Need For A Watermark You May Want The Watermark To Be Barely Visible But I'm Going To Choose 50 Make Sure You Go In And Delete The Previously Created Watermarked Images And Now Click Go So Here They Are The Processing Has Finished Let's Have A Look You Can
Now See The Watermark Is Sort Of Transparent It's Much Larger And It Fills All Of The Images If Some Of The Images Are Actually Smaller Than 4000 It's Not Going To Actually Resize The Watermark It's Going To Just Crop It You Need To Find A Balance Between All Of Your Image Sizes And Your Watermark Image You May Want To Make It Smaller Just To Be Safe If You Don't Provide A Color Logo Maybe You Provide A White One And You Fade It Out It's Going To Look Like The Watermarks You Find On Different Websites
