Not sure what you mean by "over" or "under" the image. When the image is watermarked we actually alter the image and save it as a new file so the watermark is physically part of the image.

Thanks, Mindy--I wasn't sure if the watermark was on the 'paper' then the image went on top--or....wait, I'm a little slow--I guess that doesn't make any sense since they're not physically laid on top like a projector sheet...

doh!

No problem Wink

The term "watermark" itself of course is from the paper industry and traditionally was part of the paper. The offical term online is a Digital Watermark.

A brief read if you're interested:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_watermark

So, we display the digitally watermarked image online and when it comes time to print a card we use the unaltered, original image.
