The Good
* Allows users to add text and/or image watermarks.
o Allows users to add a special "copyright" text watermark.
* Allows users to add "protection" lines on images.
* Can add add/time to photos with EXIF data.
* Supports multiple different input image formats.
* Can keep original image format (JPG, PNG, BMP, GIF, or TIFF) or convert all to one format (JPG, PNG, BMP, or GIF).
* Automatically resizes text watermarks proportionally to image size.
* Supports batch processing.
* Allows users to save watermark settings as "templates" for easy re-usage at a later time.
* Has the ability to preserve "folder structure" of input files and EXIF data.

The Bad
* Does have not a proper mechanism for positioning image watermarks.
* Does not automatically resize image watermarks proportionally to image size.
* Users are limited to one text and one image watermark each (not including the special "copyright" text watermark).
* Program window is always fully maximized with no ability to resize to a smaller size.
* Automatically overwrites existing files with same names in output folder.
* Poorly programmed - has quite a few bugs.

@ Ashraf, thanks for your review as always. But I do have to disagree at some points though

A bad: "Does have not a proper mechanism for positioning image watermarks." This is not true, you can simply drag een image watermark with your mouse in any position wanted. There is no easier way.

I tried to reproduce the error-messages in your full review, but I was unable to do so. The reason for that is that every thing went flawless on my pc.
Sometimes an error is due to the software provided, but sometime due to configuration issues on the test-pc. Because we used the same software (the giveaway) the errors you mentioned cannot be a bug in the software but must be part of your test-pc.
You cannot blame the softwaremakers for buggy software when the cause is issues on your test-pc. Quote: "Poorly programmed – has quite a few bugs"
This does not mean there are no bugs, but not the ones you pointed out. In the worst case the software is picky and a bit intolerant about pc-configuaration.

A watermark is resized relative to the picture so you will not have to do this again for every separate picture. What do you mean with "Does not automatically resize image watermarks proportionally to image size."

very poorly written. Resize button doesn't do anything, among other issues.
Useless for professionals!!

The first time I install GOTD hosted software before it's well reviewed and praised. lesson learned.

Not recommended. Programmer need to make more effort before asking for $27.50 or quite this business if they can't do acceptable job.
