Hi there,
What you are looking for can be accomplished with layering. In Corel
Photo Paint 8 they are referred to as Objects.
Think of objects/layers as thin see through foil pages, which you draw
on.
You can accomplish your effect by creating the main image on the
background object (main layer), and placing a new object on top of it.
The new object would be your watermark.
In the objects panel under object properties you may adjust the
characteristics of each layer of images. You can now fade out the
watermark while keeping the main image in tact, creating a water
effect. In the Object folder there is a combine menu with three
options. The one you will need is "Combine all objects with
background".
Since most image formats don't support layers (such as JPG or GIF),
when you save the file both layers will be "merged" or "flattened".
Next time someone downloads your image, and opens it up in any
image-editing program, they will not be able to remove the layer with
the watermark.
Make sure you keep your own file saved in a format that supports the
layers, or remove the watermark and save it to another name. You,
like everyone else will not be able to separate the watermark from the
image once it is saved to a flat file. Corel's native file system
supports layering, so you might want to save it in that format too
(keep in mind that the file types which support layers are larger,
since they virtually save multiple images, one for each layer).
Hope this helps.
Thank you.
