Watermark Effect
For information on how to access effects, see Accessing Effects.
SnagIt gives you the option of adding a Watermark effect to your captures. Use the Watermark effect to add a graphic file in a fixed location in the image capture. You can add logos, titles, signatures, banner ads and more. Graphic files in BMP, GIF, or, JPG format can be used as watermarks.
The image or text file you use as a watermark can be overlain, underlain, embossed, etc. The watermark can also be made transparent as an overlay. Experiment to discover the variety of creative ways you can use the Watermark effect.
To set up a Watermark effect:
- From the Mode toolbar, select the Image Capture mode button.
- Select the Effects button within the Profile settings pane to see the dropdown menu of options.
- Select Watermark. The Watermark task page will display.
- Customize your Watermark and select OK.
- You will return to the main SnagIt view. Set your Input and Output capture options.
- Select the Preview Window button from the Options toolbar.
- Select the Capture button to invoke capture.
- Once the capture is taken, it will be displayed within the Capture Preview window with the customized Watermark effect applied to it.
- Select Finish to send your capture to the output source. Or, select Cancel to delete the capture.
Tip: Once you have taken a capture and viewed it with the Capture Preview window to ensure that it is the exact effect that you desire, you can always disable the Preview Window option so you no longer have to view the capture in the Capture Preview window each time you take a capture.
Tip: To disable a Watermark effect, select the Effects button, and then select Watermark. From within the Watermark task page, disable the Enable Watermark option. Select OK.
