Step 3: In the Export dialog box, find the “Watermarking” section. Check the box next to “Watermark” to enable it.
Step 4: Now you have two options. You can create watermark in the form of text. You can change style, font, and color of your text. The second option is the use of Graphics. If you want to use graphics watermark, you have to import your watermark PNG file.
Step 5: After selecting your watermark, you can adjust its size, opacity, position, and inset settings to ensure it appears exactly where you want it on your images. You can save these settings as a preset, so that you don’t have to adjust all these settings every time you are editing your photos.
