Hi

I've forgotten how to do this. I know there was something in Smugmug where you could modify your watermark i.e. change the transparency or fading e. g. I use "wmarklight" which has just the right fading.

I've got a new PNG file ready to go, but I don't know how to make it into a watermark. I want to keep the same fading but just change to year from 2008 to 2009. I can't find the watermark menu anywhere.

Thanks.

Pete

    Upload it to where your other site files are and under tools select "make into watermark".

    Is there anyway to modify an existing brush watermark.

    I can't seem to find the font I used prior to make a new one.

    Yes what is the menu trail to edit an existing watermark? I want to be sure to use the same fading which, after much tweaking, has turned out just right.

    It's on the Pros tab of the Control Panel. See http://www.smugmug.com/help/custom-watermark-protection

    Nope, you can't edit JPEG or PNG files anymore. They are rendered when you save them in your photo software. You could try searching for some kind of font analyzing software on the web to help you finding out which font you used, but I don't know if such a thing really exisits and if it's worth the time.

    It might be easier to just go through your font list.
