text annotations
Adding text annotations to a range of images does not have to be hard.
They don't have to look boring either. Arles offers
you a one click option to create professional 3D watermarks that are merged into the image background. And title
tags allow you
to insert the file name, image height or even the image titles you
defined in the Arles Image Explorer.
Copy protection
Adding texts to your images is one of the best ways to
protect your images against copying. Some websites disable mouse
right clicks or slice the image in 1 million pieces. However, this
will only help
against
users with a very basic knowledge of the Internet. All these methods
are beaten by a one click screenshot. What you display is what visitors
can copy. Physical
modification of your images is the only
way to protect them from copying, which is exactly what
Arles Image Web Page Creator does.

your mouse in the example image area to change the text position.
Presets
The fastest way to set a text style is to select a
preset (at the top right) and recreate your gallery. You can save your
own presets by clicking the Save button on the right of the presets
box.
Watermarks

To create a watermark text, select the Watermark checkbox in the lower
left corner. The text
will
be merged
into the
image background with a 3D effect. Select the Reversed checkbox to
create a outside instead of inside 3D effect. Tune the transparency
setting to optimise the watermark.
Title tags
The image text does not have to be the same for each image. You
can use title tags to insert the file name, image height or even the
image
titles
you
defined
in the Arles Image Explorer. To add a title tag:
- In the Image Text Options window right click inside the Text field.
- From the popup menu select Insert > "File name". Or "File Title
1" if you want to add the titles specified in the Arles Image Explorer.
- Recreate your gallery by clicking the All or Images button in the
main window.
