Watermark your assets watermark-assets
Adobe Experience Manager Assets lets you add a digital watermark to images and videos. Assets supports applying an image as a watermark to other image files. Watermarks can help users verify the authenticity and copyright ownership of the assets. Also, a watermark can be used to indicate a document’s state like confidential, draft, validity, and so on.
To configure Experience Manager to watermark assets:
-
A PNG file is applied as a watermark. Upload this file to your DAM repository.
-
Navigate to Tools > Assets > Assets Configurations.
-
Click System Watermarking Profile.
-
On the System Watermarking Profile page, specify the image path uploaded to your DAM repository in step 1.
-
Specify the watermark scale, ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, relative to rendition width, in the Scale field.
-
Click Save.
note note NOTE If you have configured System Watermarking Profile using com.adobe.cq.assetcompute.impl.profile.WatermarkingProfileServiceImpl.cfg.jsonconfiguration file (OSGi configuration), you can continue to use it, however, Adobe recommends using the new method. -
Create a processing profile to use asset microservices to apply the watermark.
Ensure that you enable the Watermark toggle while creating the processing profile.
-
Apply the processing profiles to a folder to create watermarked assets.
