Automatically watermark images as they are uploaded to the WordPress Media Library.
== Description ==
This plugin allows you to Automatically add a watermark to all images as they are uploaded to the WordPress Media Library.
The plugin uses PNG watermark images with transparency for precise control over the appearance of the watermarks.
The user friendly settings page allows for control over the appearance of your watermark.
The watermark preview feature allows for easy testing of the plugin settings.
The watermark size is controlled as a percentage of the target image, 50% means the watermark will be half the width of the target image.

= How do I generate the Highest Quality Watermarks? =
We recommend that your watermark image be roughly the same width as the largest images you plan to watermark.
That way the watermark image will be scaled down, which will work better than making the watermark image larger in order to fit.
We also have a premium version of this plugin that adds the capability to resample the watermark image, rather than simply resize it.
This results in significantly better looking watermarks.
