Japan is a unique country. It may be a surprise, but a progressive development and a profound respect for ancient traditions, which had been forming for two and a half thousand years, can exist quite harmonically. You cannot plan a trip to the land of the rising sun without visiting its very heart - the city of Tokyo. The capital attracts tourists with its skyscrapers and parks with blossoming cherry trees. But Tokyo is also full of unknown and very interesting places. You can feast with your own eyes or you can take a picture and preserve those wonderful memories of your trip forever. Many famous photographers think of their photos taken in Tokyo as their prime works. However, here even an amateur can capture some images that will not only refresh their memories, but also impress their loved ones.

Venice is, without a doubt, one of the most interesting and beautiful places on the planet. This city attracts tens of thousands of tourists from different countries, thanks to its old architecture, winding canals and unique lifestyle. Moreover, Venice serves as a great inspiration for photographers of any level - from amateurs with smart phone cameras to professionals with equipment that cost thousands of dollars. It is no surprise. Anyone, who has been to this beautiful Italian city at least once, will tell you, that every house, every canal, even any gondolier is unique and has their own charm.

What’s the difference between thousands of ordinary, boring pictures from your vacation and photographs that will capture somebody’s attention in an instant? Among other things, it is the composition of your shot. A few simple methods of positioning subjects in an image and their proportions will help you create nice, polished, eye-catching and breathtaking photos. It doesn’t matter what it is that you are shooting - an overview of a sea, a portrait of a child, urban street photography or a cute little bird. It also does not matter what equipment you use - a professional camera or a smart phone.

AI makes possible stunning visual effects. For example, using Messenger app you can add yourself cat’s ears or mustache. Unfortunately, AI-algorithms also makes it easier to remove someone’s watermark from their photos. Google offered an algorithm doing exactly that. Figuring out what’s your watermark and wiping it out of your photos.

I’m happy to annouce Visual Watermark 4.70. This version makes it easier to design your own watermark than ever before.

Previous versions of Visual Watermark allowed you to change watermark size and position using “Move” and “Resize” buttons. By clicking and dragging these buttons, you could make the watermark smaller or move it into a different position.

We wanted to make it easier to design watermarks made of several items and provide the capability to specify the same watermark size for all watermark items. Unfortunately, “Resize” button didn’t give us that capability.

We added new “Size” slider to the watermark item settings panel on the right of watermark editior. By dragging it you can change watermark size.
