aPhoto icon aPhoto is a Batch Intuitive and Portable Program that Helps to Make Text and Image Watermarks


Introduction:

aPhoto is a batch intuitive and portable program that helps you to make text watermarks (eg. Copyright Notice) or image watermarks (eg. Logo) for your photos
and save the resulting photos to JPG, PNG, GIF, or BMP file formats.

aPhoto is a lightweight application whose purpose is to help users embed text or image watermarks on their favorite pictures.

This is a portable program, so it is important to mention that it doesn't leave any traces in the Windows Registry. You can copy it on any USB
flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to create watermarks on the
breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Since this is a Java-based utility, you should make sure you have previously installed the working
environment on the computer, otherwise, you cannot run the tool.

aPhoto sports a clean and intuitive layout that lets you import photos using the built-in browse function.

It works with GIF, PNG, BMP, and JPG file formats, and gives you the possibility to create watermarks by
typing in the text directly into the primary panel and inserting images.

What’s more, you can customize the text in terms of font and size, pick the text and background color,
as well as alter the RGB, saturation, and lightness values.

Other notable characteristics worth mentioning are represented by the possibility to select the watermark
position, set its transparency, choose the rotation angle, and save the edited images to JPG, PNG,
GIF, or BMP file formats.

On the upside, it does offer support for batch processing, which means you can add multiple pictures
and process them at the same time.

aPhoto carries out a task quickly, provides very good image quality.

All in all, aPhoto offers an intuitive layout and a handy set of parameters, and is suitable for all
types of users, regardless of their experience level.
