If your administrators have set them up, you can apply a mask to your image at the point of download.

A mask is an image that can be laid on top of your image. Often it is used to apply branding to your images. For example, if you are planning to use images for presentations you could download an image with a mask applied as a branded banner for your presentations.

How to add a mask to your downloaded image

The process for downloading an image with a mask will depend on whether you are using the Quick Download or Advanced Download tab to download your images. (See General Help for Quick and Advanced Download).
