The watermark durability indicates how visible watermarks are on the image. For images to be printed, use stronger watermarks. For images to be displayed on a monitor, use weaker watermarks because they are not as visible. While stronger watermarks are easier to detect, and harder to remove, they are also more visible in the image. You can make two copies of the image and apply a stronger watermark to the copy you are printing and a weaker one to the copy you are displaying electronically.
To set the watermark durability:
For the Target Output drop-down box, choose how the image is to be displayed: Monitor or Print. If you select the Print option for an image with a resolution under 300 dpi, Paint Shop Pro displays a message recommending that you increase the image resolution before embedding the watermark.
To set the watermark strength, in the Watermark Durability box type a number from 1 to 16, drag the slider below it, or use the default values. The default for the Monitor option is 8; for the Print option, it is 12.
To verify that the watermark information is embedded correctly, select the “Verify” check mark. The program checks that the watermark has been applied and displays its attributes and durability.
