In addition, watermarks offer the capability to add additional text behind the main text, for example “Confidential.” The next two sections describe how to add watermarks and backgrounds, and show some examples of the effects you can achieve.
Tip for picture watermarks Once you’ve selected the image, you can optionally scale it and wash it out so that it’s not as visible behind text. Tip for text watermarks You can also set transparency and diagonal or horizontal layout.
