Image Watermark

Provide a level of protection to your images, on the web, by using your company’s watermark. Begin by clicking [Settings], in the top panel of Store Manager, and select Preferences. In the sections list, locate the "Image Watermark" option.

A form, with currently selected options, will be displayed.

Check the upper field, and specify a filename and its direction in the drive system of your computer. Use the browse button, to locate the desired image file (see an illustration above).

Customize the view of your watermark, and the Product's Image: set the percentage of its opacity, and specify its localization, etc.

In the lower section, you will be able to preview the watermark over your displayed product images, after saving the configuration changes.

Note: Any changes made, will apply only to new images, which are subsequently added, to the Store database.

Also, if you want the watermark to be present on all pictures within the Store Catalog, be sure to overwrite existing images of products with new ones.
