WinWatermark Standard

Screenshots

WinWatermark Standard has a slightly different look & feel as the Professional version.  Even though the two versions may have different interfaces, they still both handle photo batch processing very easily.  Whether you want to protect your digital images one picture at a time, or in batch process fashion, WinWatermark is an outstanding, easy-to-use choice.  Many web designers prefer WinWatermark, not only for watermarking images, but for resizing and renaming hundreds of images quickly. 

Our best advice for using WinWatermark Standard?  Hover over every button, icon, and tab to ensure you have discovered all the features available within the application. 

To add images, simply click on Add Folder or Add Files.  Browse for images to be modified.

Two tabs exist at the top of the WinWatermark Standard interface; one for images and one for watermarks

Note the scroll bar to indicate numerous images that were loaded into the software.

Hover over the arrows to view rotation options for images. 

Available options include: 

Rotate Image 90, 180, 270 degrees

There is also an option to Reset Image back to its original state.

This is an example of an image that has been rotated 270 degrees.

To crop an image, select the image first, and then click the CROP button as shown by the arrow. 

A selected image is the one encircled in ORANGE in the list of images on the right hand side.

If cropping of multiple images is desired, the resulting pop up screen will have an option to crop all images.

Images can be cropped by clicking and dragging inward, the small boxes shown by the arrows. 

Use caution when cropping an image using these "handles".  The image could easily get distorted.

Additional cropping options are available as well, which can prevent image distortion.

Note the option to apply the crop settings to the current image, all images the same size as the current image, or all images in general.

Follow the same process to Resize an image, or images, by first selecting the image to be resized.

Resizing multiple images is an option after clicking the Resize button.

The current image size is displayed at the very top right hand side of the pop up screen.

NOTE:  When resizing an image, be sure to keep the Lock Image Aspect Ration selected to prevent image distortion.

Options to resize all images are found in the red circle.

When finished, click APPLY and OK.

Select the image to be framed, and click the FRAME button as shown by the arrow.

Framing multiple images can be found on the resulting pop up screen.

Several options are available when framing images.

Color, texture, type, and size are just a few options available when framing digital images.

Hover over buttons to view what task they provide.

When finished making changes for framing, click APPLY and Ok.

Renaming images is crucial to web designers who strive to accurately label images on the websites they build.

Select an image and click the RENAME button.

Several options are available when renaming images.

To rename images, simply type a new name for the image in the Output Name area.

To append variables to the new filename, simply click on the link available.

At the bottom of the screen is an option to "Auto Add *_*" which will add an underscore between each variable selected.

Once you've found the best possible name for your images, be sure to include all images if desired.

When finished, click APPLY and Ok.

When ready to create a watermark, click the WATERMARK tab at the top right hand side of the windows.

To create a Text Watermark, click the ADD TEXT button.

To create an Image Watermark, click the ADD IMAGE button.

From the resulting pop up screen, the default text to be used is WinWatermark.

Click on the T (representing text) to change the text of the watermark.

From the resulting pop up screen, simply type the new text into the box provided.

Other functionality available:  Formatting (bold, italics, underline), Font type, color, & size, orientation of the text (left justified, centered, or right justified), and also the ability to enable a shadow or background for your text.

Note drop down options available denoted by the red arrow.

Be sure to locate ALL additional text watermark settings before proceeding.

You may very well be glad you did!

When finished, click Ok.

Once the text watermark has been modified, you will return to the first Text Watermark screen, where additional options are available.

Note the general alignment of the text watermark on the image itself.  There are 9 different location in which to position the text watermark.

Additionally, you may use Offset Mode to cutomize the location of the text watermark.

When finished, click Ok.

Once a text watermark has been created, it will appear within the Watermarks Tab.

To create an Image-based Watermark, click on the ADD IMAGE button as shown by the arrow.

While there is no rule about creating watermarks, having both a text and image-based watermark is an option within the Standard version of the software.

To create an image watermark, click the icon as shown by the arrow.

Browse for the image to be used as the watermark and click OPEN.

Upon selecting the image to be used as the watermark, it would appear that the watermark is no where to be found.  This can sometimes happen if the image-based watermark is too small.

By clicking the ACTUAL SIZE icon shown by the yellow arrow, it's possible to see the resulting watermark.

This watermark may be too small to protect your digital images on the Internet.

Note the additional alignment options, offset options, rotation and opacity options that were also available for creating a text-based watermark.

When finished, click Ok.

Now that the watermarks are ready, it's time to process the images.  In order to watermark all images, click the big BLUE triangle in the lower right hand corner.

Select the desired output, for your watermarked images, from the drop down shown.

Click the COG icon to set image quality options as shown on right.

When finished, click Ok.

To begin processing all images, including CROP, RESIZE, RENAME, FRAME, and/or WATERMARK, simply click the START button.

Be sure to save to a NEW location to prevent overwriting the original image files!

Before closing WinWatermark Standard, click the right arrow as shown.  This will save your watermark settings for later.

Note, the left arrow will load any saved watermark settings.
