When you apply a watermark to an image, it will always be visible, both in the Viewer and in the image browser thumbnail. Inactive by default, it is activated as soon as you click on one of the modes (Image or Text) the tools displayed depend on your choice. The Watermark palette is located at the very bottom of the right pane of the Customize tab (DxO Advanced workspace) or as a sub-palette at the bottom of the Basic Tools palette. DxO PhotoLab does not let you create logos and other graphic elements.Ī watermark is not a substitute for the author and copyright information in the image metadata we encourage you to continue to fill in these fields, particularly the Metadata palette. If you choose an Image watermark, you will need to create it first in an image editing or graphic design program. On the other hand, an overly conspicuous watermark can also alter and even discourage others from viewing your images. The text or image, if embedded judiciously (avoiding placement too close to the edges), will discourage theft, reuse, or unauthorized republication of your images.
