The working process
-
1
Confirm the notice is accurate
Decide the exact visible line, such as a creator name and year. Do not imply ownership you do not hold, and remember that requirements differ by jurisdiction.
-
2
Design for readability
Choose a font size, colour, opacity, and position that remain legible without overwhelming the image. Test against the lightest and darkest examples.
-
3
Create publication copies
Use Batch Watermark Image to apply the verified text consistently to a separate folder. Preserve clean masters for print or later licensing.
-
4
Inspect the complete range
Check portrait, landscape, cropped, and differently coloured images. Adjust or split the batch if one setting does not work across the set.
-
5
Use other rights records too
Keep source files, creation records, contracts, and publication dates. A visible line is useful communication, not a complete rights-management system.

Review before you call it finished
- Is the named rights holder correct?
- Is the year deliberate?
- Is the notice readable across the full set?
- Are clean masters and provenance records preserved?

Limits and privacy
Practical limitation
This workflow adds visible text or a logo. It is not legal advice, copyright registration, invisible tracking, or a guarantee against unauthorised use.
Privacy boundary
The visible mark is added locally without uploading the image collection.

Questions worth answering
Does adding © create or register copyright?
A visible notice communicates a claim; it is not a registration service and does not determine legal ownership. Consult reliable local guidance for your situation.
