Watermark Sizes

AperturePlus

Hello

Is there a way to scale down the size of a watermark?

I would like to put my logo on all images as a watermark, but don't want it full screen. I would like to place it in the bottom right hand corner, but much smaller that I seem to be able to get it at present.

I uploaded the logo at 1000px width and it was placed fullscreen from left to right. I then re-uploaded it at 500px and it looked exactly the same.

Thanks for the help.

Hi Clive,

Your watermark is too large. I would suggest that you resize your watermark to 200px x 100px or even smaller and then you could change the position of your watermark and the opacity. To change the position and opacity of your watermark – please go to your control panel - > pros - > watermarks - > click the “edit” button.

But please upload your resized watermark before you change the position and opacity of your watermark.

I have some additional information for you about watermarks:

Hi Tom

I will try a smaller size as you have suggested.

One thing that is puzzling me further, is that after I realised that what I was doing was not working, I removed the watermark from the test gallery that I created (I had four shots in it) and that was about 3 hours ago and these four shots still have the watermark visible on it. I double checked the settings on the test gallery and they indicate that there are no watermarks applied.

If this the normal timeframe to remove watermarks?

To remove watermarks from existing photos, please use the Tools button > many photos > more > watermarking tool.
Just disabling the watermarking setting in the gallery settings won't update the existing photos in the gallery.

I didn't realise this. Thanks for the help.

@ Tom - I tried a 200px logo and it's perfect. Thanks very much.
