// Add image to apply watermarks to
waterMarker.AddInputFile(inputFilePath, outputFilePath);

// Create new watermark
TextAnnotation preset = new TextAnnotation();

// Set text with macros
// complete list of available macros please see in the SDK documentation
preset.Text = @”Date Time: {{LOCAL_DATE_LONG}} {{LOCAL_TIME}} “+

// Set watermark font
