Most important feature ever.. how about working on your HyperBugOS instead of wasting development resources on this nonsense.. when did you ever send a picture to someone and had a reply like – well that’s a nice picture but damn this watermark is next level. Is that advanced Android 16+ architecture?! I like that watermark so much and want to put it on a wall.
I wonder why none of those camera brands have such a feature and leave it to people to do it in post editing, if it was such a sought after feature..
Watermark is important for many professionals. Anyone that uses photographs in their profession which there are many.
Right.. as someone who actually worked with professional photographers. They add their copyright into the exif data (which is supported by camera brands) but if they want to be sure, they decently put their watermarks on top of the image like an artist that signs their painting or nowadays use invisible watermarks. They don’t use a Polaroid like frame that shows a little avatar picture which is barely identifiable. They are more likely to add some QR code. The Xiaomi Branding – completely irrelevant. The date, camera settings and GPS, again, would be in the exif data. And some photographers even decide to not log the GPS for privacy or exclusivity reasons. This is just something no one actually needs aside from flexing with the hardware you use or to indirectly advertise for Xiaomi.
I am expecting that Xiaomi caan use any alpha image that i put in the phone/tablet othersie is just gymnic.
I waant to take a photo click in a button that says place watermark and will get my dsigned watermark, or that watrmark is on by default.
