When sharing your images online, you might want to add a watermark for copyright protection, personal branding, or simply to ensure your name stays attached to your work.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it using Layers in Luminar Neo.
Open the image you want to watermark in Edit mode.
Locate the Layers panel in the top-left corner of the screen
The Layers panel lets you stack elements like logos, textures, or other images on top of your photo for added customization.
Click the “+” (plus) button under My Images to add your watermark or logo file.
In the pop-up window, locate your watermark image file and click Open.
Once added, the watermark appears at the center of your image with 50% opacity.
You can:
Move it by dragging it across the photo.
Resize it by dragging the corners.
Set opacity to 100% (or any level you prefer) in the Layer Properties.
Position your watermark carefully to maintain balance in your composition.
Once you're happy with the placement, continue editing your photo or export it as is.
Don’t forget - you can always toggle the watermark layer on/off or adjust it later!
Once you’ve added a watermark to one image, you can quickly apply it to other images using Sync Adjustments. This saves time if you want to batch watermark a set of photos.
Syncing copies all adjustments - including the watermark layer and any edits you've applied - from one photo to selected others.
Tools like Crop AI, Erase, Upscale and Background Removal AI are not synced and need to be applied separately to each photo.
In Catalog view, click the edited photo with the watermark. It will be outlined in yellow.
Use Shift to select a range of photos.
Use Ctrl (Windows) or Cmd (Mac) to pick individual images.
Selected photos will have a white border.
Right-click any selected image and choose: Adjustments > Sync Adjustments
Or use the shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+S (Windows) / Shift+Cmd+S (macOS)
Wait a moment as thumbnails update with the synced watermark and edits.
You're done! Continue editing individual photos or export them when ready.
