The transparency
option allows you to specify how transparent the watermark should be. Value of
zero will make the watermark completely invisible.
You can choose a
rotation angle for your watermark. You can select one of the eight predefined
angles or specify your own value between 0 and 360. The normal value is zero
which is same as 360 which means no rotation.
Tiling
You can choose to
tile your watermark with horizontally or vertically or both. Select the
appropriate option to enable tiling. Set the spacing between tiles by entering
the value in the respective text boxes.
Position
You can place the
watermark at one of the nine predefined positions or use a custom left and top
position. Note that in case tiling is enabled the position values don’t have any
effect.
Padding
Depending on the
position you can also specify the padding or margin of the watermark from the
left, top, right or bottom edges of the image. For instance if you wish to put
the watermark on left, top side but want to keep a margin of 100 pixels you can
specify 100 in the top and left padding boxes.
