Watermark Studio

Securing pictures for distribution is a big deal, especially over the web. Luckily, this can easily be solved by applying a watermark over the original picture. You can do this with specialized applications such as Watermark Studio, which provide an intuitive set of controls, and fast processing of pictures.

The setup process is done before you realize so you’re quickly able to take the application for a spin. The main window shows up on launch, with all features wrapped around a custom-made interface. Several steps need to be accessed to finish the entire operation, such as file management, EXIF data editing, watermark, and output options.

Files are either added through drag and drop or relying on the browse dialogs for individual files or the content of an entire folder. Supported formats aren’t abundant, but let you process popular types like JPG, PNG, TIFF, and BMP. These formats are available for both import and export operations.

Apart from adding watermarks, there’s the possibility to edit EXIF details for all pictures. This step isn’t mandatory, but allows you to either anonymize data, or manually punch in new values for copyright, author, keywords, and comments.

As far as watermarks are concerned, there’s the possibility to add both text and pictures. Individual tabs make it easy to configure them. The application comes with a neat collection of standard logos to add, but you can load a custom picture as well. Customization options let you adjust rotation, opacity, and scale, as well as position.

Last but not least, output options can be used to specify the save folder for new pictures. It’s also possible to resize pictures, rename them by applying different name templates, and convert to other formats when processing.

Taking everything into consideration, we can state that Watermark Studio is a trustworthy program with which to make sure your pictures don’t easily get stolen when distributed over the web. Although it can feel a little rough around the edges overall, the process is intuitive from start to end, letting you add watermarks of different types to various picture formats.
