Bronson Watermarker 1.6 gets customized

Apps, Bronson

The new version of Bronson Watermarker — in the [Mac App Store today](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bronson-watermarker/id481867513?mt=12) — adds our single most-requested feature: customization of the font, size and transparency of watermarks.

It’s one little button, but it lets you spend a dangerous amout of time tweaking and futzing with your watermark.

That potential time-suck is why we made it easy to ignore. You don’t *have* to choose fonts and colors and opacity. In fact, you probably shouldn’t. After all, the default styles are good enough for [Ron Howard’s Arrested Development script](https://twitter.com/RealRonHoward/status/228261666234707969/photo/1).

But if you need to customize the watermark — perhaps on a dark photo — now you can.

Bronson 1.6 also includes Mountain Lion support, Retina graphics and the ability to drag in images directly from iPhoto.

All this, plus a refreshed icon that looks great on your dock.

Bronson Watermarker is a [steal at $9.99](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bronson-watermarker/id481867513?mt=12) in the Mac App Store.

Bronson Watermarker 1.5 adds image support and new styles

Apps, Bronson, Software

bronson iconWe launched [Bronson Watermarker](http://quoteunquoteapps.com/bronson) in January with a straightforward message: Bronson makes it easy to create personalized PDFs.

We’ve sold well, in no small part because the Mac App Store featured us on the front page for much of that time. (Thanks, Apple!)

Potential buyers often email us. By far the most common question we get is, “Can your app watermark photos?”

The answer: no.

But shouldn’t the answer be yes? Now it is.

Bronson Watermarker 1.5 — new in the Mac App Store today — adds support for photos and images, including JPEGs, PNGs, GIFs, BMPs and TIFFs. Not only can you watermark these files, you can resize them at the same time.

Whether you’re sending out one file or 100, each will be labelled with the recipient’s name.

We’ve also added two new watermark styles: Lower Right and Header. Lower Right is especially handy for blog images, while Header works well for individualizing handouts when you don’t necessarily need the protection of a full-on watermark.

PDFs and images come in all different shapes, so we re-did our math to make diagonal watermarks feel right no matter what the aspect ratio.

While we were at it, we freshened up the UI. (Try us in full-screen mode on Lion.)

Bronson Watermarker 1.5 is a free update, [available now](http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/bronson-watermarker/id481867513?mt=12) through the Mac App Store.
