Watermark Tips for the best image

Louppls

Hi... just upgraded to Pro. Want to add my custom watermarks but the images seem soft, especially as I go to the bigger sizes photo's. See the link below. I just want my site URL, www.louppls.com in the bottom right.

I followed the directions, creating a PNG file using Arial, 16 point, crisp, transparent, 200 x 50 (I figured I only needed a small size), 72 res and uses a very light blue color. THe water marks don't see crisp. Any tips? If it helps, I attached my PNG file.

Can you post an example of an image with the watermark where things look soft?

I think you're going to have to go bigger on your watermark; SM is up-rezzing your watermark when it shows the image at a large size, hence the softness, I think. Try with a bigger font size and resolution and see if it improves a bit.
