Magic Touch™ watermark

Protect your images by adding a watermark to them.

This example shows a watermark on both the standard image and also the full screen image (click the Full Screen icon). By default, it only shows on the fullscreen image.

You can choose the design of the watermark - just create a PNG with transparency. We recommend using grey and keeping it discreet so that it is not too intrusive. You can adjust the transparency easily with the watermark-alpha parameter.

There are four parameters for customising the watermark:

<script type="text/javascript">
 MagicTouchOptions = {
'watermark' : 'http://www.example.com/watermark.png',
'watermark-alpha' : 10,
'watermark-normal' : 0,
'watermark-fullscreen' : 1
 }
</script>

Extra protection

The watermark is not enough for complete protection. The location of your large image is easily found in the source code of your page and can be downloaded by the user. You can prevent this by serving a 403 (forbidden) error for the image but give an exception to our server so that we can fetch the image.

We fetch all your high res images from a server with this IP address: 174.129.228.122. This IP address may change and additional addresses might be used. We can tell you in advance of any changes that will be made but in some circumstances we might need to do this without notice. If you do restrict access to your images by IP address, please inform us so that we can make you aware of any change to our IP address(es) as soon as possible.
