Another trick to make pretty watermarks

Now, here’s another cooler trick to do a more beautiful watermark on your photo, but it will not work on some backgrounds.

This time, set the fade back to 0%. Then click the dropdown and select overlay. As you can see, the watermark doesn’t appear very well on the dark background.

But when you move the text to the fur, it overlays really well and beautifully! Also, be sure to try other text colors when overlaying for other results!
