Watermarks & Banners (Enhanced, Extreme)

Watermarks and Banners can be added to your output.

The controls for watermarks are found in the Email and Web Publishing screens, under the Watermark/Banner/theme tabs.
Watermarks protect your work from reproduction (eg. proofs), and banners label your projects, much like attaching a business card to your work.

Adding Watermarks
Click on the Watermark/Banners/Theme tab to apply a watermark to your output.

EmailWatermark

In the Enhanced and Extreme versions, you can add custom watermarks.
Watermarks give you a way to label your work such that the customer can decide if the pictures are right for them but not be tempted to save them locally:

To create a watermark,

If you are using graphic content that requires re-editing:

1.	Use an image editing application such as Adobe® PhotoShop® to create an image with a transparent background.

2.	Save this image in the 'PNG' file format with transparency enabled into the Watermark.

3.	Place the PNG file into the 'Watermarks' folder where FotoFusion was installed.

If you are only using text or pre-extracted graphics:

1. Open a new canvas in FotoFusion

2. Turn the canvas frame image opacity to 0, or delete the canvas frame.

3. Add text and graphics as required.

4. Render the file to png format, sending it to the 'Watermarks' folder where FotoFusion is installed.

To apply a watermark,
1. Browse for the file you wish to use as your watermark.
2. Turn on the checkbox next to Collage (to watermark the page) and/or Originals (to watermark attached original images)
3. Select where you would like to place your watermark using the grid (top, side, bottom, etc.)
4. Select the opacity of your watermark using the slider bar.

Adding Banners
Just as with Watermarks, custom Banners can be created in FotoFusion or Photoshop, or similar programs and overlaid over email or web output.

A banner is an image with an embedded hyperlink; it is typically opaque, as you WANT the user to see and click on it. An example use of a banner would be to have recipients of your emails click on the banner to visit your site.

The 'Link' field allows you to specify the address that the banner should link to (e.g. http://www.WEBADDRESS.com).

The 'Text' field contains the text that will be shown in a 'tooltip' when the recipient rolls their mouse over the banner.

The 'Place Banner Outside Collage' checkbox allows you to control whether the banner will lie inside or outside of the embedded collage.
