this aerial bold
1:42
font And
1:47
then for watermark image we first of all
1:50
provide the logo png So here we are
1:53
specifying this image right here which
1:55
we need to add
1:57
logo.png After that we specify the
1:59
position here So
2:02
gravity
2:03
southeast
2:06
geometry So we specify the coordinates
2:08
