The product has merged all the options from the three icons into the first icon. The more you work, the more you become familiar with the PhotoMarks app.

Adding Watermarks

To add watermark to the photos, you should select “Add Filter” button. The next step is to select the Marks icon from the left-side navigation panel. You will view the below screen.

The PhotoMarks app enables you to draw bounding box and shadow by selecting “More” tab. Let’s change the watermark text inside the Text box. You can either drag the watermark at the desired location or can select the appropriate option from the Placement drop-down box.

You can also rotate the watermark text according to your preference. We rotated to 40-degrees and the resulting output will look as shown below.

Let’s try to add a filter to a Photo. You have to add Photo and select Add Filter button. You can either select a filter by selecting “All Filters” option or you can select “Decorate” and “Transform” options. We selected Vintage Frame option. You will view a screen as shown below.
