Watermarks - how to create in the program. How to remove watermarks from the picture?

Often we try to protect our text or photos from theft. Currently there is one good way to do this. To do this, you need to use a special software, which allows you to create watermarks in the photo. But beginners have a lot of questions, because it's not always easy to understand as it may seem at first glance. Let's look at a few relevant programs that will help us protect photos from theft.

"Photoshop": how to make a watermark

So, if you bleed and then create your own site and fill it with content, and someone came and simply stole it all and posted it, it's not only moral disappointment, but also a material loss. To prevent this from happening, we will now learn how to create watermarks. Everything will take about 5 minutes. After you configure all the elements, you can add a template to any photo in just one click. The first thing we need to do is create or open an image. To do this, start "Photoshop" and go to "File", and then "Open". After that, we need to select an open image. To do this, click on the letter "T" in the toolbar. In English version it is a horizontal Type Tool. Now we must write the text that is of interest to us.

The second stage of creating a watermark in Photoshop

Now you have the text written on top of the picture. Using the "move" function, we set the inscription where we need it. This can be either the center or any of the corners. Next, let's work with layers. There is nothing complicated. Go to the "Layers" menu and select "Layer Style", and then go to "Overlay Options" and tick off the contour and embossing functions. Although you can choose other effects, so here you should act on your own. We can say that we have already practically made a watermark, but let's bring it to mind, and then we will rejoice. Go to the "Fill" menu and set the slider, which makes the text more or less transparent, in the position that we need. It is recommended to make the inscription as transparent as possible, then it looks better.

The final stage

We can say that our sign is already ready, it remains only to adjust the size of the text and its location. First we'll work with the font. To do this, go to the "Text" panel. After that, it is necessary to select the text written by us and make for it such a outline that would suit us. It is worth paying attention to the placement of the watermark. The fact is that it can be placed horizontally, vertically or diagonally. Here's how your fantasy will unfold. But do not put a signature in the corner of the picture, because then remove the watermark can be quite simple, for example, cropping the image. Therefore, place it closer to the center, if necessary, make it more or less noticeable. Important details of the image must be visible. To rotate an inscription to a certain level, go to the "Edit" panel, select "Transform" and go to the "Rotate" tab. Using the arrow-arc, you can rotate the mark the way you want.

Batch Picture Protector

And here's another great program for watermarks - both for creating and editing. If "Photoshop" is not aimed specifically at this function, then this utility is created for this purpose. After you download the program, install and run it. If the interface is English-speaking, then you can change it in the settings, and then go straight to the point. Choose an image that you would like to protect with a watermark. After that you can specify the size, shape and location of the inscription. Do not forget to write in advance what you need. By the way, the distinctive feature of this utility is that it is extremely convenient when working with whole packages of documents. If necessary, you can select the angle (in degrees) to which the inscription will be rotated. Opposite to the lines "displacement of the axis in X, Y", you can set the position of the sign both horizontally and vertically. If necessary, you can change the scale. On this, the creation of the impression can be considered finished. Save the result and use. The program is completely free and takes up little space.

How to make a watermark on multiple photos at once?

If for some reason the above-described option does not suit you, then there are a lot of good programs that will help us in this. For example, let's look at the process of creating a watermark using the powerful XnView image editor. First, start the program and open the image we need. After that, use the hot keys Ctrl + A to select all the photos that we want to mark. If there is something not very necessary in the album, then, while holding down Ctrl, remove the checkmarks. Then go to the "Transformations" menu. Then select the item "Watermark", and then "Add". Now we start creating a logo or an inscription. We're almost done. Now we can only specify the path to our logo in the settings of the same function. And since we created it in Paint or Word, we specify this file. After that, click "Run", and all the photos will have watermarks. The program is easy to use and completely free.

Creating a Watermark in Word

If you do not want to download the above programs from the Internet, then you can easily do with what you have on your computer or laptop. For example, it could be Word, which everyone has. Here you can add watermarks not only to the photo, but also to the text, which will make it more attractive. First, let's go to the "Page layout" menu and select "Substrate" there. You will immediately be asked to choose from what is already available, but there is also the possibility of creating your own impression. If you want to create something of your own, then choose the "Adjustable substrate". Specify the font and the actual font, and then adjust the color. It can be a transparent sign or vice versa. In addition, you have the option to choose the location: horizontally or diagonally. Save the result. In the future, you can use the template you created when you need it.

How to remove a watermark

There are several ways to do this. First, let's look at an example of how to work with Photoshop. There is nothing difficult, but it will take some time, so be patient. We will mainly have to manipulate the layers. Please note that any version of the program is suitable. So, let's get started. Create a new layer, and then select the area on the image that most closely matches the background that is directly under the watermark. The next step is to paste the copied area so that it is above the bottom layer. Almost half of the case is done. Now it is desirable that the layer that we recently created, make it translucent and lower it until it closes the impression. After fixing it, we remove the transparency effect. Now you need to copy the bottom layer and paste it on top of the others (it should close them). At the final stage, it remains to work with a brush and an eraser. To do this, activate the bottom layer with a watermark and an eraser erase the inscription. All is ready, you have removed the impression.

Another good way

So, this time we will use a free program called GIMP. It allows you to create both watermarks in photos and delete them. The Russian-language interface helps you to understand as quickly as possible what's what. In the main menu, select the image with which we will work. Then on the toolbar we find the "Selecting the bound area". Now select the watermark and copy it to a new layer. Next, you need to use the "Mixing" function, which allows you to get the color that should be under the impression. Cut the matching area, and then paste it as a new layer. Uniformity can be achieved by using the "Sharpness and blurring" function, as well as "Finger". Since we removed the watermark, it remains to save the result. As you can see, everything is extremely simple here, you just need to use different modes of the "Mixing" tool.

A few important points

I would like to say more about how to remove the watermark (watermark) in Word. Here it is much easier to do than in the two programs described above. To do this, just go to the "Page Layout" section, select the "Substrate" item. There you can see "Remove the substrate", which we actually need. Remember that the watermark is not created for a single document, but as a template. As you may have noticed, it's quite easy to remove an incorrectly placed print, so you'll have to worry about that it's problematic for others. In any case, if you did everything soundly, erasing the inscription will take a lot of time and effort, and hardly anyone will undertake it. As practice shows, the reproduction of the impression, that is, its repeated repetition, allows much better protection of the image. But here it is important not to overstep the stick, because for users it may look repulsive.

Conclusion

And now I would like to sum up what was said in this article. You now know how to put watermarks in several programs. As you can see, there is nothing complicated, especially if you use software in Russian. Even if something does not work, you need to sit, reread the article and try again, it is possible that you have missed something. In any case, the most important thing is to place the inscription correctly. It should be difficult to erase. How to do it, by the way, you already know. Here, perhaps, and all on this topic, what can I say about the protection of their own photos or text. In any case, it works, and there is hardly any other so simple, yet effective method.
