I mentioned in a previous post I had moved my massive watermarker to a Windows Application. However, the result of changing the watermarker to a Windows Application and forbidding myself to change the images' resolutions fed into the program caused a problem with determining the text's size.
The Problem:
Images having a different resolution (dpi) required a drastically different font size. That's natural, but I don't want the end user having to make that distinction. I wanted the end user to think naturally: the font size should look consistent across all images--even with differing by height, width, resolution, and bit depth.
The Solution:
My final solution was to match the resulting watermark's height with the image's height. After taking measurements from manually watermarking different images, I came up with an equation and logic which would enable users to think of font sizes relatively.
The Link:
You can download the watermarker here. Just extract the program and make certain you have the .Net Framework installed from Microsoft's Windows Update.
The Legal:
I own the program and everything in it. It's mine. You can look at it and play with it, but everyone is forbidden from using the application for production, business, or in any activity where you use it to gain something--usually monetarily. If people seem to abuse the application, all other applications I post will be tied to a web service on my site where I can force versions not to run if desired. One person ruins it for the lot of people.
