The transparency option allows you to specify how transparent the watermark should be. Value of zero will make the watermark completely invisible.

You can choose a rotation angle for your watermark. You can select one of the eight predefined angles or specify your own value between 0 and 360. The normal value is zero which is same as 360 which means no rotation.

You can choose to tile your watermark with horizontally or vertically or both. Select the appropriate option to enable tiling. Set the spacing between tiles by entering the value in the respective text boxes.

Depending on the position you can also specify the padding or margin of the watermark from the left, top, right or bottom edges of the image. For instance if you wish to put the watermark on left, top side but want to keep a margin of 100 pixels you can specify 100 in the top and left padding boxes.
