Hi,
You mean a way to automatically reposition your watermark in the picture without reapplying it by saving/copying another picture with the watermark in the correct position? I don't think so.

Erik,

You could prepare a PNG file with transparency that has your rotated text as an image.  You could then apply that PNG as your watermark.  But it will be completely static and unchangeable from within PM.

I would like to apply a dynamic content (photographer+filenamebase+shootingdate) as rotated watermark.
Would be great to have this feature in a future release of PM.
Thanks,
Erik

Erik,

Drawing rotated text may come at some point, but since the watermarking feature is quite useful as is, adding the additional feature will be a low priority for the team.

Kirk, I love PM but I respectfully disagree that improved Watermarking should be a low priority item. Watermarking has become ever more important because many of us must display images online and watermarking helps prevent theft. (Nothing totally prevents digital theft, of course.)

I would love to see a rotation capability in Watermarking as well as improved options for positioning.
It would be very useful to be able to precisely position the watermark via a drag-n-drop.

Perhaps you could make improved Watermarking a medium priority item?  ;)
