Adding a watermark to an image

You can use the Watermark tool in Edit Mode to add a watermark to a photo. You can move the

watermark to any position on the photo. You can also change the opacity of the watermark and blend

the watermark into the image. You can save your options as a preset for future use.

You will need to create a watermark image before you can add the watermark to your photos.

Drop Shadow

Settings

Distance Specifies the distance between the drop shadow and the

text. The higher the value, the farther the shadow and the

higher the text appears.

If a drop shadow is cut off, or has a noticeably sharp edge,

you may need to increase the size of the text rectangle.

Blur Specifies the amount of blur applied to the drop shadow.

Sharp shadows tend to seem less realistic than those with a

slight blur.

Opacity Specifies the darkness of the drop shadow where it falls on

the image.

Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that

creates the drop shadow. Drag the arrow to adjust the

angle - note that this also adjusts the shading of the text

bevel.

Bevel Settings Bevel Specifies how much of each letter's edge is bevelled. Higher

values give the text a more rounded, smoother look.

Strength Specifies the difference between the highest and lowest

points on the text. Higher values heighten the difference

between the flat portions of the text and the bevelled

edges.

Elevation Specifies the height of the imaginary light source that

creates the bevel's shadowed effect. Lower values produce

longer shadows on the text, while a higher value produces

a more direct lighting effect and shorter shadows.

Angle Specifies the direction of the imaginary light source that

creates the bevel effect. Drag the arrow to adjust the angle -

note that this also adjusts the angle of the drop shadow.
