The General Settings provides options on how to enable and apply the watermark. There are two ways to apply the watermark: Automatic and Manual.

Automatic applies the watermark when a new image is uploaded, instantaneously. This option is useful for applying the watermark on many images at once.
Manual requires the user to select images in the Media Library to apply the watermark on. This option is useful for existing images.
