Watermarks

#26241

in using a watermark image, what is the best type of image to use and what values of the settings of the PD4MLPageMark should be set? we’re having some trouble getting the image transparent enough for the underlying text to show through.

thanks

Should be:

You may use any image as a watermark. But you’ll get better results if you use a GIF or PNG with a transparency mask or alpha layer. (Opaque white background of a watermark image makes underlying content faded)

On practice:

the actual v351b8 has problems with opacity control (it always remains 100%). It is going to be fixed with the next release.

As a workaround you may use translucent PNG with opacity set, for example in Adobe Photoshop, to 20-35%.
