Automatically add watermark to an image

while searching for a solution to automatically put a watermark to an image in internet, i found a best solution in stackoverflow. Link for the question is C# - Add watermark to the photo by special way. My special thanks to Alex Maslakov and adrift.

I implemented that solution with some modifications, i want to put watermark in center of the image. I modified the solution provided by adrift as follows 

   private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        using (Image image = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg"))
        using (Image watermarkImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\watermark.png"))
        using (Graphics imageGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(image))
        using (Brush watermarkBrush = new TextureBrush(watermarkImage))
        {
            int x = (image.Width - watermarkImage.Width)/2;
            int y = (image.Height - watermarkImage.Height)/2;
            imageGraphics.FillRectangle(watermarkBrush, new Rectangle(new Point(x, y), watermarkImage.Size));
            image.Save(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert_watermark.jpg");
        }

    }

but watermark is not properly placed in the center of image (see below image).

enter image description here

please correct me...

thanks

Working sample:

public static Bitmap WatermarkImage(Bitmap image, Bitmap watermark)
{
    using (Graphics imageGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(image))
    {
        watermark.SetResolution(imageGraphics.DpiX, imageGraphics.DpiY);

        int x = (image.Width - watermark.Width) / 2;
        int y = (image.Height - watermark.Height) / 2;

        imageGraphics.DrawImage(watermark, x, y, watermark.Width, watermark.Height);
    }

    return image;
}

Usage:

Bitmap watermark = new Bitmap(@"c:/watermark.png");
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(@"c:/image.png");
bitmap = WatermarkImage(bitmap, watermark);
bitmap.Save(@"C:/watermarkedImage.png");

Finally i find the solution to my question...

The corrected code answer is following

    private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        using (Image image = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg"))
        using (Image watermarkImage = Image.FromFile(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\watermark.png"))
        using (Graphics imageGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(image))
        using (TextureBrush watermarkBrush = new TextureBrush(watermarkImage))
        {
            int x = (image.Width / 2 - watermarkImage.Width / 2);
            int y = (image.Height / 2 - watermarkImage.Height / 2);
            watermarkBrush.TranslateTransform(x, y);
            imageGraphics.FillRectangle(watermarkBrush, new Rectangle(new Point(x, y), new Size(watermarkImage.Width+1, watermarkImage.Height)));
            image.Save(@"C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert_watermark.jpg");
        }

    }

my thanks to Furqan Safdar and Abdias Software The link Problem in tiling image starting at different height using TextureBrush in C# also helped me to solve this problem

and thanks all

finally result

Your original formula is fine btw.,

are you making sure the resolution of the two are the same? Set DPI resolution of your watermark image equal to image:

watermarkImage.SetResolution(imageGraphics.DpiX, imageGraphics.DpiY);

(from the top of my head, but i think the property names are correct).

UPDATE:

Change from Image to Bitmap in order to use SetResolution() - See if this change works for you - I've changed the way the watermark is drawn onto the image:

private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) {

    using (Bitmap image = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert.jpg"))
    using (Bitmap watermarkImage = Bitmap.FromFile("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\watermark.png"))
    using (Graphics imageGraphics = Graphics.FromImage(image))
    {
        watermarkImage.SetResolution(imageGraphics.DpiX, imageGraphics.DpiY);

        int x = ((image.Width - watermarkImage.Width) / 2);
        int y = ((image.Height - watermarkImage.Height) / 2);

        imageGraphics.DrawImage(watermarkImage, x, y, watermarkImage.Width, watermarkImage.Height);

        image.Save("C:\Users\Public\Pictures\Sample Pictures\Desert_watermark.jpg");
    }
}

Try this code for center alignment:

int x = (image.Width / 2 - watermarkImage.Width / 2);
int y = (image.Height / 2 - watermarkImage.Height / 2);
