9. How do I get rid of the Fotolia watermark in placed images?
While placing an image via drag&drop onto your layout you are only placing a low-resolution preview image that
conatins a watermark. At the same time the image will be automatically added to
your shopping cart as a reference. The low-resolution images are only used for
layout purposes. If you want to publish your layouts you have to purchase the
image first. Go to your shopping cart, select the resolution you need for print
or Web usage and finish the purchasing process. By clicking “Download” each to each purchased image FotoliaXT will download the hi-resolution file and
automatically replace the preview image. Now the watermarks are gone. There is
just some final adjustment required and your document is ready to be published.
