Using a watermark

Post by PennyEllis72 » 04 Mar 2013 14:34

Hi,

I have created and saved an Ancestors Diagram as a jpeg, but I would then like to copy it onto a page watermarked with the outline of a tree. How do I do this so I can still see the watermark? [confused]

Thanks

Hi Penny,
You don't say which version of FH you are using but in V5 (and possibly earlier versions: I can't remember) you can choose to set a picture as the background for a diagram, and select the percentage of 'fading' of the picture. You can then print or save the diagram as a JPG.

Use Diagram Options > General tab > Background (near centre of the Options box). By default this is set to Generation Stripes, but the drop-down menu includes 'picture'. You can then browse for your picture and set the fade level.

Hi Lorna,

I have V5 and I followed your very clear instructions and it worked. [smile]

Many thanks
