Add a visible watermark that still leaves the image usable
Watermarks are most useful when they identify a preview or owner without making the underlying image difficult to inspect. The right opacity and placement depend on the image and destination.
Use a restrained mark
A subtle watermark is easier to tolerate than one that covers important subject detail. For portfolio previews and client proofs, a consistent corner position is often enough.
Keep an unwatermarked master
Treat the watermarked result as a publishing or proof copy. Keep the original so you can create a different watermark or clean output later.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add text to an image as a watermark?
Yes. The watermark workflow creates a new image with the selected text overlay.
Does a watermark protect an image completely?
No. It is a visible attribution or deterrent, not a security mechanism that makes copying impossible.
What opacity should a watermark use?
Use the lowest opacity that remains readable for your purpose. Stronger marks can obscure the content they are meant to protect.
Should I watermark the original image?
Keep the original unwatermarked and export a separate publishing or preview copy.
