Diagonal Watermark ??

[Paul Alford]

Chris, is it possible to add a diagonal watermark to the next update for BB ? I like these other watermarks, but I am feeling I would prefer a diagonal text line now. Would that be possible ?

Thanks for all the hard work on all of the different programs.

If the text is fixed you could do this using an image for the watermark. If you save the watermark image as a GIF you can make the background transparent. Alternatively you could use an alpha channel and save the watermark image as a PNG file to make it blend better with the image (e.g. use the alpha channel to create a drop shadow).

Thanks Chris. When you get a minute, anyway you can step by step HOW to make a diagonal transparent GIF ? I have been trying and cant seem to figure it out. I start with a RGB 800px layer (transparent), run opacity down to 30%, then save as a gif (with trans) and then run the BB proofer and select that gif and it doesnt show at all.

Thanks

** Nevermind Chris. I got it. I ran the 30% opacity in the layer back up to 100% and made the gif, then changed opacity in BB and that worked. Nice. I like the diagonal !!
