Could be great way to work if it didn't crash so often.
cheeekyfaceMarch 24, 2014
Pros
Really easy to use. Much easier and more user friendly than any other I've tried.
Cons
Crashes about 1 in 5 uses. Used this program on Windows XP & win 7 over past 3 years and always had problems with crashing. When it crashes it always does so, after editing is done and so I've lost a lot of time re-editing and re-applying changes then saving again & hoping it won't crash again. Usually works second time and you can probably go another 2 or 3 saves before it'll crash again. Strictly home use - not for business as a result of this bug that has not been fixed in the years I've used it. Support is non-existant. Whenever I've emailed for help with this issue have never received reply. In fact I don't think I ever received a reply except when I asked about upgrading to newer version which I had to pay for. Obviously more incentive to respond to questions that will bring them money without having to do more work. Hefty fee at $49. Considering the lack of support and not responding to paying customer questions I would rate this as equivalent to a new program with bugs.
Summary
I would love to make this my only tool for watermarking but sadly I haven't the time to lose on re-editing so I won't be upgrading anymore unless I see it stated on their website that the bugs have been fixed. Plenty of other programs out there and no doubt there will be something else soon enough that is just as user friendly. For new buyers, I'd say download the free trial (if there is one) but test it well. Try watermarking different amounts of files to see how it handles it. try re-sizing and cropping and applying watermarks all at once with the ability to save profiles and see if it's robust enough before you fork out $50 for it. Ask your questions before you buy it and see if you get a response and also whether they address your concerns or just brushing you off.
Works fine if you don't mind fuzzy videos afterward.

Pros
Simple to use interface, works quickly.
Cons
Takes a video that was crisp and turns it into one that is fuzzy after applying the watermark. I sincerely wish I had not spent the money on this. I might as well have flushed it down the toilet, the software is unusable for me.
Summary
I downloaded the trial, used it on 2 videos, they looked fine, so I bought the software (big mistake). Applied the same watermark to 20 more videos, usually processing about 3 at a time. After those 20 were processed, I opened the target folder, picked one at random and played it. Big shock, it was extremely fuzzy. I was positive my videos were all very clear before applying the watermark. Went back to check the original video, it indeed was very crisp. In checking all 20 of the videos I had just applied watermarks to, only 4 came out after the watermarking with the same or similar clarity they started out with, not counting the original 2. So out of 22 videos, I was left with 6 that were usable. I thought maybe it was because I did 2 or 3 at a time, so I started over again and only did one at a time. Same results exactly. Only a few came out relatively sharp. And I double-checked each video before I started the second time to be sure they were indeed clear to begin with. I don't know what this junk software does to make it fuzzy and sometimes downright blurry, when the videos start out crisp and clear. But, I am extremely sorry I wasted $49 on this, which I really could not afford to lose. When the 1st 2 videos were fine, I naturally assumed that it worked well, and was just what I was looking for, because it is very easy to use. Lesson learned and big regret, I now know to try something for the whole trial period before plunking down my hard-earned cash. If you don't care that much about the quality of the videos afterward, and just want the watermark, this may be just fine for you.
It's best feature is "simplicity in use"!

Pros
They gave away one of these programs at give away today that I installed & tried. In no way did it compare to this in user friendly. This one took me all of 15 minutes to setup, create my watermark template & use it on 50 pics & FF Splash images.
Cons
It's pricey for a user specific image watermarking app. Theres free, all in one apps like XNView that can do this & much more for free. it's to bad their not at all as user friendly either. $24.95 would make it much more appealing to most buyers.
Summary
Goos app! Simple to setup & use. I like everything about it but it's $49.00 price tag. Common guys! How about coming down to something more reasonable. Oh! By the way, It runs great on Vista (32 bit OS) & doesn't require running as administrator. Even though I like this program, I wouldn't spend that kind of money on it so I guess I'll keep looking.
Nice interface, good product

But I choice another one.
Cons
Summary
Fairly easy to use
LjnovaJune 10, 2007
Pros
I was looking for a simple way to put a semi-transparent watermark on my photos - this program will do it easily.
Cons
The trial version will leave a "sample" text watermark over any photo that you watermark until you purchase and register the program. <p>In addition, the price is a little too steep - I'll deal with watermarking with Photoshop instead.
Summary
Reasonable software / Horrid support
ClearlyRobertMay 10, 2007
Pros
Flexible
Cons
Horrid support from this Russian company. I bought the software, had a hard drive crash but could not ever get the software authenticated again by them, so it was unusable. Over two dozen emails to both their Russian and US tech support and sales functions got me nowhere, with not a single response. Zip, zero, nada. <p> <p>The shareware version is worthless and the paid version with their VERY un-customer support makes their software a VERY bad gamble. Steer clear and buy from a company that cares about customer support.
Summary
good program expected more
animekaneApril 20, 2007
Pros

Cons
just one thing i dont like you cant resize you watermark image like ais water mark pictures protectorv3.5.1, or some other programs can but i havnt checked out the others if they make an updateed version of this product i would like to see an image watermark resize option included
Summary
Poor support
phurd99November 1, 2006
Pros
Love the product, works fairly well and easy to use
Cons
Support just is not there. I have been waiting on a product key which is needed to activate the product for over 4 days. Nothing. Product is no good if you can't register it.
Summary
Fantastic - does all it claims to do an more
irina3131August 12, 2006
Pros
Flexible and easy watermarking - you can adjust the settings to do it the way you want and it will watermark as many images as you want in seconds. <p>Does other great things - frames, masks, renaming, resizing, etc, with a push of a button <p>Super simple to use - there is a zero learning curve. <p> <p>I purchased this program just a few hours into the trial period because it was clear I was not going to find anything nearly as good. Having previously tried about half a dozen other watermarking programs, there is no doubt that this beats them all hands down. <p> <p>If you need to batch process images (whether watermarking, resizing, adding masks etc), this program is the best.
Cons
The help sections are a bit deficient, but frankly they are unnecessary because it takes only minutes to get your head around this software.
Summary
Great product, Bad registration process.
fotodudeMay 17, 2006
Pros
Very easy to use, can select how big, small, transparent, raised, lowered, etc. Also can do mutiple files with ease.
Cons
Well I started off with the demo, like it alot. Purchased the online version so I could get rid of the extra watermark it places on the photo's. They say they send you a product key, which I havnt gotten yet. Ive emailed them several times with no response. If this gets resolved im sure ill enjoy the product alot.
