Tip!

It gets even quicker if you work through a set of images to watermark.

Once you have settled on the font, font size and level of transparency, the software remembers the settings, but only whilst you have the software open.

So, if you want to make your watermarking even quicker, organise a few images that you are planning on uploading over the course of a day, week or year :)
