1.   Add Watermark

There are two methods to add a watermark to your photo in the Movavi Photo Editor.

1.1. Image Watermark

1. From the right-hand vertical panel, select the “Insert Image” tool.

2. Click “Paste an Image” to open an explorer window. Select your preferred image and click the “Open” button.

3. Once you paste the image from the computer, an “Image Settings” panel will appear.

Here, you can make the desired adjustments to your image watermark, including Opacity, shadow, and so on.

4. Click “Apply” to save the edit.

1.2. Text Watermark

1. Click the “Text” tool from the right-hand vertical panel.

2. Add a designated text that you want as a watermark. And then, adjust the opacity, font size, font style, and colour scheme as you like.

2.   Add in Objects

(Comments) Adding objects or images is exactly similar to the above process.

1. Select the “Insert Image” tab from the vertical panel and click “Paste an Image.” The Windows file explorer will open.

1. Choose the image or object from your computer and click “Open.” Once you paste the object from the computer to the Movavi Photo Editor, make coveted adjustments or editing.

3.   Convert Between Formats or Compress Photo to Get Smaller Size

1. Open your Movavi Photo Editor and edit an image of your choice.

2. After editing, head over to the top right corner and click the “Save” icon.

3. The “Saving Photo dialogue box” will appear. Here, you can change the image format(file type) and quality as you like.

4.   Remove Red-Eyes

1. Click on the “Retouching” icon (smiley face) from the right-hand vertical panel.

2. Select the “Red Eye Removal” option from the “Eyes” section.

3. Click on “Remove Automatically” to erase the red-eyes effect automatically.

4. (Optional): You can also remove red-eyes using the manual mode. For this, use the Brush Size slider to adjust the brush size, place the brush onto the pupil, and click it. The round brush will instantly remove the red-eye.

5. Click “Apply” to save the edit.

5.   Blend 2 Images

(Comments) As we mention before, Picverse is a photo editor. It is not capable of very advanced editing techniques. Hence, in order to blend 2 images with this software, we can only use the ‘opacity’ tool. However, we can advise here that the image that you need to make opaque, be lighter in colour than the other. Try it out!

1. To blend two pictures, click the “Insert Image” icon from the right-hand panel and tap “Paste an Image.” The Windows or File Explorer will open.

(Comments) i.e. Select the image that you want to blend with the current one and click “Open.”

2. Once you paste the image, the “Image Settings” panel will appear on the right side of the Movavi Photo Editor.

3. Here, the “Opacity” feature will do its job to blend the two images or add an overlay effect. So, move the Opacity slider until the image is sufficiently transparent.

(Tips) Besides opacity, you can adjust the corner, width, or shadow of your photo. However, we don’t recommend using these features if your main focus is to get a good blend.

4. Click “Apply” to save the edit.

6.   Blur Certain Areas to Create Focus?

1. Before you blur a certain area, you need to select it first. And that’s where the selection tools come in. Go to the “Adjust” icon and click open the “Selection Tools” section.

2. Select the “Selection Brush” or “Lasso tool,” as they are handy, and mark the areas that you want to blur to create focus.

(Comments) For example, in the image below, we’ve used the “Selection Brush” and marked the forehead and mouth to focus on the eyes.

(Tips) You can also adjust the brush size and softness for better selection. Use the “Selection Eraser” to undo a part of the selected area. 

3. Move the “Blur” slider in the “Detail” section until you get your desired results.

4. Click the “Save” on the top right corner. Change the file name, type, or quality, and tap “Ok” to save the edit.

7.   Commonly Used Shortcuts

Movavi Photo Editor gives you a list of keyboard shortcuts that you can find in the Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts in the top left corner of the editor.

Some of the common shortcuts are:

• Ctrl+S to save the edit
• Ctrl+O to open the file explorer
• Ctrl+Z to undo an action
• Ctrl+A to view “Before and After” of an image
• ESC to reset selection
