To enter the Image Editor, first upload or find the Image you're looking for in the Art Library.

Click in to your image, then click  .

 

Using the Watermark section in the Image Editor you can easily add text and images to your Art Library Images!

A watermark is essentially an image or text, sitting on top of another image. Seen above is a .PNG image of the Swift digital logo. In the Image Editor, you're able to upload an image from your computer, to use as a watermark.

Note: The approved image formats include:  .PNG  .JPG  .JPEG

 

Adding a Watermark:

Click on  from the left hand menu.

 

You can choose to add your Watermark as Text, or by uploading an Image. Each will have their own set of editing options available:

 

Watermark as an Image

Opacity:

Click and drag the Opacity bar to increase/decrease the transparency of your Watermark Image.

Border:

The border is generated from the edge of the image, inwards. To avoid the border encroaching on your image, leave the border at a few pixels only.

         

Shadow:

You can add a shadow to your Watermark using the Shadow option. 

Position: Move the placement of the shadow using the Shadow Horizontal and Vertical sliders

Blur: Adjust the blur added to the Shadow using the Blur Slider

Opacity: Adjust the transparency of the shadow using the Opacity slider.

Colour: Change the colour of the shadow using the colour picker

         

Position:

Hover over your Watermark Image to see the re-positioning arrow . Drag and drop to place.

 

For Automatic placement, use the last icon to position the image watermark at the edges/corners or centred.

Tips: 

• Check the File Size of the watermark image you're going to upload. Ensure this is previously optimised. Ideally under 100kb.
• Image Quality will always pixilate when expanded. Ensure your watermark is looking good at its desired size before adding it on to your Image.
• What's saved is a single . Images cannot be re-edited

 

Watermark as Text:

You can also elect to add your Watermark as a Text Box. Please note, the Font selection is limited. 

General Text Editing:

Horizontal and Vertical letter spacing can be increased by adjusting the Letter Spacing and Line Height sliders.

Opacity:
