Reactiv Code has announced Watermarker 2 (http://tinyurl.com/ombs3j6) for Mac OS X, an update of the professional utility for customizing images with a variety of watermarking options.

The folks at Reactiv Code say it was necessary to completely re-write Watermarker from the ground up using the latest OS X 10.10 technologies to accomplish “ambitious” feature set. Thanks to these new technologies, not only is Watermarker fundamentally faster but it also has new features like the Photo Editing extension that allows you to watermark images from other apps, such as Mac OS X Mail.

Other new features include the ability to: overlay custom text on photographs; use a logo or image as a watermark; apply a customizable strike through an entire image; annotate with shapes; pixellate sensitive portions of photographs; batch rename images with patterns, and more. Watermarker 2 also has a revamped user interface.

The app is available at the Mac App Store and from the product website. It costs US$14.99.
