    If you want the most protection for your image, you can use Tile Watermarks to completely cover the image.

    Command Line Mode

    The program comes with command line mode. You can type in a command line such as the following:

    PicWatermark.exe -in 'inputFile' -out 'outputFolder' -wm 'WatermarkFile.wat'

    In this case, -in is the path to input the image to be watermarked, -out is the path to the output folder where the watermarked photo will go, and -wm is the path to the watermark file. You should create this file in GUI mode using the Save Watermark command. This process allows for automating the watermark process.
