  YOU CANNOT SAVE THE WATERMARKED IMAGES. it's a waste of time!!!

• Does NOT Watermark

  mellomuttJune 18, 2011

  Pros

  For batch resizing, renaming or converting, I guess it works great. Wouldn't know, didn't try those aspects. Just wanted a batch watermarker.

  Cons

  Does NOT watermark.

  Summary

  The Help file in the program itself will tell you that this program does NOT watermark. The tools are there in the app *to* watermark, but it will not save/process/commit those watermarks. Either the developers have altered their software, or the CNET Staff that reviewed this app did not actually try to save their watermarked images. Because you can't. The Staff review is misleading and had me waste the good part of an hour downloading, figuring out the software, setting up some test images, crafting a watermark and then looking for the button or menu option that will allow you to process the images. I was convinced it must be there somewhere, as the CNET Staff said it was. I had opened the help menu once, but it redirected me to a site that wanted me to sign up before I could access it, and I actually tried to do so, but they wanted me to pay money for the privilege. After more mucking around with the software, I finally read the reviews of other users complaining about the same thing, then notice the line in the Help file that states specifically and emphatically that this software DOES NOT WATERMARK.

• DOES NOT WATERMARK

  heymrpaulJuly 13, 2009

  Pros

  None I could find.

  Cons

  Free version Does NOT watermark at all

  Summary

  Do not download this dog if you want to watermark. As soon as you open the help it makes it clear the product does not watermark, and the language in the agreement suggests it does. Cnets description is out of date.

  It was free.

• Program crash on first attempt + watermarks cannot be saved

  davidstemporaryAugust 4, 2007

  Pros

  No positives - just a waste of valuable time.

  Cons

  Program crash during my first (and last) try. I have a very stable system and this normally never happens.<p>Also watermarks can be created by NOT SAVED.

• free, easy, exactly what i needed to reduce my pics with NO VISUAL CHANGE

  wildwind1999November 7, 2006

  Pros

  although i had to mess with the controls to get the hang of it at first it really is quite simple. You still have your old pics when you are done (to delete your self)so there really is no loss. Remember to make a new folder to save your new ones in so you can compare them when they are done. This program saves so much time and money!

  Cons

• Waste of Time

  bazzzzleSeptember 7, 2006

  Pros

  Cons

  I spent ages trying to work out how to watermark my images. At first I thought the option was there somewhere within the many menu's and options on this overly complex application. Then I realised the watermark option has been excluded. Don't waste your time on this like I did.

• Not worth the time

  PaMLBDecember 25, 2005

  Pros

  None that I could find.

  Cons

  Was able to open the program only one time. After that I could not open it any more. CPU usage went to 100% and when I finally opened the Windows task manager to try to find out what was happening I found that PowerBatch was not responding. I tried several times, even after restarting my PC with the same result every time.
