Watermarks
If you go to the expense of creating your own original product images, there is not much you can do to prevent unscrupulous competitors from stealing them with the click of a mouse. However, you can place a watermark on each image to identify it as your property and make it a less attractive target. A watermark file can be either a .jpg (jpeg), .gif, or .png image.
Example: Watermark Positions
The watermark used in these examples is a .png file 470 x 470 pixels square, with a black logo and transparent background. The size and opacity were later adjusted to 100 x 100 pixels at 10% using the watermark configuration settings in the Admin panel. You can experiment with different watermark settings until you find the look you want.
