Step 1: Go to The Watermarks Tab

  • Go to the your Galleries page.

  • Click on the Watermarks tab, next to the Directory tab option.​

Step 2: View Your Watermarks

  • By default, Lightfolio offers a Text Watermark and an Image Watermark for you to use already.

  • You can also click on the + New Watermark button to add a new text or image watermark.

  • Image watermarks must be in .gif format or .png format.

Step 3: Edit Your Watermark (Optional)

  • Click on the watermark you want to edit. An Add/Edit box will pop up.

    • For text watermarks, you can edit the watermark text, and the scale, opacity, position, font, and more.

    • For image watermarks, you can edit the image scale, opacity, and position.

  • Remember to click on the Save button to save your changes.

Step 4: Apply the Watermark to Your Images

  • Go to the gallery that you want to apply a watermark to. In the menu on the left, click on Watermarks (under Client Options).

  • Make sure that the Enable Watermarks toggle switch is on.

  • From the When to Apply Watermarks drop down list, choose where your watermarks should be applied: Slideshows, Thumbnails, and/or SIDs (single-image downloads).

  • In the Select Watermark section, choose the watermark you want to use. Lightfolio will automatically display a preview of it.​

  • In the Folder Override section, you can set up watermark settings for folders in your gallery by selecting the Override Gallery checkbox.

  • Click on the Save Settings button to save your changes.

Step 5: Allow the Watermarks to Process

  • After saving your settings, a red “Watermark is processing” message should appear on your screen.

  • Once the processing is complete, preview your gallery. Your watermarks will be applied to your images.
