              What is Draft watermark?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

              A watermark is an image or text that appears behind the main text of the document. It is usually a lighter shade than the text, so you can read the document easily. Text Watermarks are often used to categorize or to show the purpose of a document with words such as DRAFT.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

              How do I make a watermark logo free?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

                  1. Be small and monochromatic \u2013 or have very little color. <\/li>\n
                  2. Be placed in a descreet area of the image that does not interfere with the view of the image, but will make it more difficult to remove or clone out.<\/li>\n
                  3. Have limited text.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/p>\n

                    Are watermarks copyright?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

                    Again, the watermark itself is not a copyright. Your work is already protected by copyright the moment it is created and the watermark can serve as a reminder to others not to steal your images because you are copyright protected.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
