Separate Watermarking Function

Post by XnSoldier »

Watermarking in Batch processing is great for its purpose

But sometimes individual placing is needed for a few pictures. I would love to see a dedicated function to interactively drag and resize a watermark around a picture.

cool. Yeah, I am getting to know the App better these days, really working with it. Thanks.

It works but can have improvements to make it really useful:

- It is not available in the browser when a picture is selected nor with context menu
- when selecting the function I am asked to open a file. Not completely obvious that a watermark must be selected although it does make sense
- file selector will always start in the folder where the picture is located and neither remember a previous watermark nor located in the folder with the previous watermark. Very annoying if this function is used repeatedly. Great would be to have a selector of watermarks on the left side of the image. It would also avoid resizing the image for the extra line which is inserted on the top.
