Watermark does what it says, and absolutely nothing else.<br />

Chapter 4 ■ Utility <strong>Software</strong> 47<br />

Description<br />

Watermark is one of the simplest of all utilities: it adds text to an image so that ownership<br />

is clearly identified. There are very few controls: just input boxes for text, text color,<br />

and text transparency, together with positioning instructions (top, middle, or bottom<br />

of the picture). It handles only JPEG files, and will reject TIFFs and other formats. It<br />

is very basic, but effective.<br />

Comments<br />

There is plenty of watermarking shareware available, but it is a relief to find this commercial<br />

example that’s not inclined to place assorted adware/spyware on your computer.<br />

Watermark was created originally for one of the developer’s clients, a wedding photographer,<br />

who uses it when selling images via an ecommerce site. If your photo editor<br />

doesn’t have watermarking facilities, this little utility can help.<br />
