Watermarks are in the graphics layer and usually attached to the header/footer. It is not possible to copy both the main text and the watermark in the same process. You can only copy one layer at a time.

If you've ever used Word, you've probably seen documents that feature words "Do not copy" or "Confidential" printed lightly on them. This watermark represents text and pictures appearing under a document's contents. Watermarks are normally used to outline constraints in a document and identify companies.

When a user needs to print confidential data, watermarks are a powerful, visual aid that reminds users of the need to properly handle, protect and dispose of printed material. Obvious examples of watermarks include shaded text phrases like “Top Secret”, “Confidential”, and “Internal Use Only”.

Firstly, decide whether you'd like to use text or make a logo. You could simply use your name - some artists scan their own signature and use that as their watermark. You take time and care over your photos, so the ideal watermark should be minimal so as not to take any quality or focus away from the image.

Be small and monochromatic – or have very little color. Large, colored watermarks, detract from the image as they can compete with the subject too much. Be placed in a descreet area of the image that does not interfere with the view of the image, but will make it more difficult to remove or clone out. Have limited text.

To keep it simple, a watermark is a small message, for instance, your logo, superimposed onto the image or PDF document to show who it belongs to (i.e. your brand). It is placed in such a way that the image isn't affected by its presence, for example, in the bottom corner.

A watermark could be a logo, an image, or text, and it can be as subtle or prominent on a document or photo as you'd like. You may want your watermark to feature copyright information, an identifier like your name or logo, or status information, like “Draft," or “For Review."

Many photographers find that a 20 to 30 percent watermark opacity makes their watermark visible but not too intrusive. However, that range is not the only option. Some photographers use higher watermark opacity but place their watermarks away from the subject of the photograph.
