***..

  iWatermark has the all features I'm looking for, but the 3.2 demo download is really buggy. Key problems:

1. Crashed several times after launching

2. Does not maintain original image rotation yet provides no tool to correct the rotation. Vertical images display as horizontal, so placing the watermark properly is nearly impossible.

3. Watermark preview before processing is very difficult to see (blurry) and therefore difficult to edit

4. Does not embed IPTC data as described. The function simply doesn't work, and the images display no IPTC data when checked in Photoshop

ROBINB  Very easy-to-use effective way to watermark your pictures. Nice and simply, that's why I like it.

Worth the purchase IMO.

Normal pictures are rotated, but the thumbs stay 'landscape'....

KONAIR  I use iWatermark to create web-compliant pictures so i use it mostly to reduce the size of pics and add a watermark.

So this little software does what it's supposed to do and it does it very well and in a fast way.

User Interface: The frontend is clean and easy to handle. Once the options are set for resizing, thumbnailing, watermarking, file-type and renaming you can use iWatermark just from the startscreen without the need to go to any detail screen, that makes it very handy.

Also fine that the UI looks and feels the same on an Windows PC (no worry, i just use it sometimes)

Features: The creation of different pre-defined watermark-sets is a great feature i use very often because i manage a couple of sites and so it's very easy to resize/watermark the pics in one step for the particular site. The watermark-editor works fine, you can define pics and/or text and combine it in one watermark with some effects if you like. The preview funtionality gives you an good impression what the image will look like. The "scale" option to constrain the watermark to a specific percentage of the image is a great feature, especially if you have a lot of portrait and landscape pics.

Feature request: what i would love to see in an future release is the possibility to use different positions for watermark-pic and text (for example: text bottom right, and pic in upper left corner) or the use of more than one watermark-set to achieve this (look how the developer of Downsize managed this ;-)).

Support: Support is very fast and reliable. Just had an request on Sunday!! and had an reply within a few hours. That's the way i like it.

Price I think the 20 bugs are a fair price for this software.

Overall Rating:I really like this software and i use it on a daily base. So if you're looking for a software with outstanding features for quick image processing: iWatermark is a good choice.

BLACKCLOVER  I love iWatermark! I looked at several watermarking software and either they were too expensive or too hard to use. I am a photographer and I needed cheap and easy - I got that with iWatermark.

OGIHAL  I like this product, I have been able to easily watermark groups of photos before publication to the web. The samples show the power of the tool and I found it easy to customize my own watermark. The price was right and the developer has provided multiple upgrades that add new features as well as repair bugs (although I have not run into any with my Mac).

MALDENITE  I have never had a problem with iWatermark in performing exactly as desired. It's quick and easy. The samples included with the program are excellent for viewing different iWatermark results.

DAVID170  I came to iWatermark a little late; after one of my web photos had been appropriated many times. I've been using 2.1.2 for quite a while and it is so easy, and so reliable with Mac OS X. It's never caused a crash and has protected my web photos, which is quite a bit for 20 bucks.

MACEDDY  There are still a 'few' bugs in here.

I.e. I cannot choose a single file to convert, nor a picture to watermark into a file...

Also had a crash on opening 'Edit watermark' window.

When it occurs again I'll send an error report..

Too bad for the bugs, cuz i was looking for something like this!

TIGERANDYX9  I am using 3.0.8 and that problem has dissapeared. Quite often I pick and choose single pictures to watermark in different ways ending up in a single folder.

I have found great use in protecting thousands of pictures ranging from Scottish lochs to the Caribbean underwater and very different backgrounds for the marks.

SAM ROWLANDS  Sorry for any inconvenience caused by this, I have replaced the disk image which some how appeared to get corrupted either on our server or during the upload process. I just double checked it and it is now working.

ANONYMOUS  This is the best version yet. Completely redesigned interface makes it easy for photo pros and beginners to secure and protect their photos. iWatermark is faster and has a greatly improved help system. Thanks for all the user feedback that has helped make iWatermark the most popular watermarking application in the world.

YUNFAT  This version does not keep the image rotation of my original images intact... all my verticals come out horizontal... this makes the software worthless to any pro photog methinks. Is it possible this program doesn't support embedded info about image rotation? Is this a bug of some kind? Will this be fixed in a forthcoming release? I would like to buy this software, but I only shoot verticals (fashion/glamour), image rotation is a dealbreaker for me.

MOUSEE  I just discovered this app here and downloaded version 2.0b1 to test it. After adding my watermark (text) in the preference panel, I tested it on an image and it worked OK. After quitting and relaunching though, the software crashed with a: "An exception of class IllegalCastException was not handled. The application must shut down." Trashing the preference file called "com.scriptsoftware.iWatermark.prefs" solves the problem, but all preferences are lost. The error reappears every time a pref is changed.

SAM ROWLANDS  Today some customers and I isolated a problem relating to the latest copy of Final Cut Pro and iWatermark. I have since provided a new version fixing the problem. If you and anyone else who is having a problem would like to re-download the product.
