Why this one
What makes it different
Text or image, not just text
A studio mark is usually a logo, and typing a name in a default font is not the same thing.
Opacity that stays readable
A watermark has to be visible enough to deter and faint enough not to ruin the image, and that balance is a slider, not a preset.
Placed where you choose
Corner placement is easy to crop out, so the position is yours to set rather than fixed.

The short version
About watermark image
A watermark is a compromise between two things that pull in opposite directions: being visible enough to deter reuse and quiet enough not to ruin the image it is protecting. Nothing resolves that tension, which is why the useful controls are opacity and position rather than a single "add watermark" button that picks for you.
Questions
Watermark Image FAQ
Does a watermark actually stop image theft?
It stops casual reuse and it credits you when the image travels. It does not stop anyone determined, since a corner mark can be cropped and a faint one can be edited out. Treat it as attribution rather than security.
Where should I place a watermark?
Over part of the subject if deterrence matters, since a corner is trivially cropped away. In a corner if attribution matters more than protection and you do not want to spoil the image.
What opacity works best?
Between 30 and 50 percent for most images. Below 20 it stops being a deterrent, above 60 it starts competing with the photograph.
Can I watermark several images at once?
Process them one at a time here. Consistency across a set comes from using the same size, opacity and position each time.
