 * Hi..
 * Thinking of going the watermark way.
    I would like to know though what will be
   the case I change my mind on the way. Will I be able to remove the watermark 
   if i want to …lets say by uninstalling the plugin?
 * Quite important to know…as there are a lot of images to process.
 * Thank u.

 * Hi Vas,
 * you have to understand the watermark process. the plugin insert the watermark
   in your pictures. your watermarked pictures are independent of the plugin. this
   mean: **uninstalling of the plugin will not remove the watermarks from your pictures.**
 * What now?
    1. if you use **watermark-dir** – this mean, if you watermark your picture which
       are already on your server, not during the upload – **and** the “Create bakup(.
       bak) from each file?” function was activated. In this case the plugin will create
       a copy of each file and save the original with a .bak-suffix in your upload 
       directory before the files will be watermarked. So you simply need to delete
       the .bak-suffix to get the original files. To do this, you can use the Freeware“
       Bulk Rename Utility” – [http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk](http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk)
    2. othercase – i hope you have a backup of your pictures.
 * I hope this answer will help you.
    Best wishes, Marekki.
