Watermarks

Creating a watermark file

Use a graphics package such as Photoshop to create your watermark image file. The file can be either a JPEG or a PNG, but if any transparency is required it must be a PNG.

Make the image as large as you might need, the actual display size and position can be adjusted to whatever is required.
