IMAGE PREPARATION · Workflow idea

Add a logo or watermark while keeping the original images intact.

Choose a background image and a smaller or equally sized logo or transparent overlay. Prepare a combined image with the overlay centered by default, then review its placement and appearance before it is saved over an original, shared with a team, or used publicly.

01 / The starting point

A clear request.
A useful direction.

An approved background image and a logo, watermark, or other image to place over it

“Prepare a combined image with the overlay placed in the intended position, keep both source images available, and wait for an owner to approve the result before it is used.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

5 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps a creative or marketing team add a logo or watermark to an image in a consistent position.

  1. Select the background and overlay images

    Confirm the owner permits use of both images and that they are the intended source files.

  2. Check image dimensions and intended placement

    Make sure the overlay is no larger than the background and choose a position that will not hide important content.

  3. Prepare a combined image

    Place the overlay over the background, using a centered position when no other placement is requested.

  4. Review the visual result

    Check alignment, transparency, sizing, legibility, image quality, and the rights information for both assets.

  5. Approve before saving or publishing

    Keep the source images unchanged and require the asset owner to approve the exact composite and intended audience before it is shared publicly.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.

A proposed composite image for review, with its original background and overlay preserved and any sizing limitations made clear.

The handoff

A proposed composite image for review, with its original background and overlay preserved and any sizing limitations made clear.

Keep in mind

An overlay may obscure important content, appear at an unintended size, or use artwork without permission. Confirm rights to both images, inspect alignment and legibility at the intended size, preserve the sources, and require the asset owner to approve the exact image before public posting or distribution.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose approved image sources

Define which image collections may be used and who can authorize logos, marks, and background artwork.

Set placement and size expectations

Agree on default position, acceptable overlay dimensions, and how to handle images with different proportions.

Preserve source files and rights details

Keep the original images available and retain ownership or usage information alongside the proposed composite.

Test varied backgrounds and overlays

Review transparent and opaque marks, different image sizes, and edge placements before using the result in a public asset.

Keep exploring

Review images before sharing

Prepare smaller image files and shareable references for web work, with a person checking rights, contents, and audience before images become publicly accessible.

Prepare reviewed image enhancements

Improve image clarity, size, or presentation for a chosen purpose while keeping external processing and release under human approval.
