Plum Amazing Software has released iWatermark Pro for Mac 2.0
Watermark is the most popular multi-platform professional watermarking tool for photos. Easily, secure and protect your photos with Text, Graphic, Vector, Lines, Border, Text On Arc, Text Banner, QR Code, Signature Metadata and Steganographic watermarks. Once added to a photo this watermark shows it was created and is owned by you.
The watermark types in iWatermark are not found in any other software. Some watermarks are visible and others invisible. Both serve different purposes. A visible watermark is where you superimpose your logo or signature onto your image.
Visible Watermarks:
* Text - Any text including metadata with settings to change font, size, color, rotation, etc.
* Text Arc - Text on a curved path
* Bitmap Graphic - A graphic is usually a transparent .png file like your logo, brand, copyright symbol, etc.
* Vector Graphic - Use over 5000 built-in vector (SVG's) to display perfect graphics at any size
* Border Graphic- A vector border that can be stretched around an image and customized using a variety of settings
* Lines - Very popular with stock photo houses this is a subtle but hard to remove watermark
* Banner - Adds a banner area to any photo where text can be added
* QR Code - A kind of barcode with information like email or url in it's coding
* Signature- Sign, import or scan your signature into a watermark to sign your creations
An invisible watermark is hidden throughout the picture, within the numbers that create the photos, is a recognizable pattern that identifies it as being your artwork. It is harder to remove.
Invisible Watermarks:
* Metadata - Adding information (like your email or url) to the IPTC or XMP part of the photo file.
* StegoMark - StegoMark is our proprietary steganographic method of embedding information like your email or url into the picture data itself. It can be available or hidden with a password.
iWatermark is a specialized tool to watermark photographs. Less expensive, more efficient, faster and simpler to use then PhotoShop. iWatermark is designed exclusively for watermarking by a photographer for photographers.
