Positioning Strategy

  • Bottom right corner: Industry standard, non-intrusive
  • Diagonal placement: Harder to crop or remove
  • Repeating pattern: Maximum protection coverage
  • Edge placement: Preserves focal points

Opacity Guidelines

  • 50-70%: Balanced visibility and image quality
  • 80-100%: Maximum protection, bold branding

Quality Optimization Tips
