NextGEN Gallery allows you to add watermarks to your images individually or as a batch. Watermarks are text or graphics that are placed on a photo to identify who owns the copyright. These are a great way to prevent your images from being stolen or resold!

To set your watermark settings, go to Gallery > Other Options > Watermarks:

Here are the available watermark settings:

1. How will you generate a watermark?: Using text or Using an Image.
2. Position: You can use this setting to define the location of the watermark.
3. Offset: Padding to your watermark based on pixels.
4. Preview of saved settings: That button allows you to see how the watermark will look. It will use the first image from your first gallery.
