Watermark Hand created grey border

Hello

Still going through the trial of Capture One. Like it alot. However some of the help documentation is lacking, like this instance.

In Output I clicked on the watermark hand, to the right of the watermark image box, and all my images in the catalog now have a gray border. I can not figure out how to undo the gray border. Trying to wrap my head around the outflow process versus Lightroom. Very different. I like it, but did not expect it to effect every image.

So can someone direct me on how to undue this issue of the watermark hand and grey borders.

I am on a Windows 7 PC

Thanks

Tony

  It's a silly bug that's been hanging around for a while.
  
  You need to go into the recipe that has watermarking enabled and turn it off.
  
  It SHOULD go away if you just disable that particular process recipe, but it doesn't for some reason.

  Tony,
  
  Easy one.
  
  If you use the Watermark icon in the Process recipe it makes the recipe the default for processing for all images in the same way that highlighting the recipe would do.
  
  The tick box is not involved - that just selects the recipe(s) to be used for output via processing.
  
  The Watermark hand does not control the use of the watermark but its position on the image should you wish to change it from the way it is set up in the recipe for your regular use.
  
  To be able to make and sense of that you have to be able to see any constraints - for sizing, etc. - that the recipe is defined to apply. Hence the grey border just like cropping - which is what it is doing.
  
  The only odd things is that there seem to be no way to turn it of in the recipe BUT, if you go to the main screen you also have (or should have) access to the "hand" tool in the tools menu above the main viewer screen.
  
  That has 3 options - Pan, Overlay and Watermark. Right click on the hand icon to see the list. Each has a slightly different icon. Click on Pan and the grey border will go away UNLESS you actually have the process recipe itself ACTIVE, in which case the crop defined in the recipe will remain displayed.
  
  You can also use SHIFT-H to loop through the 3 options for H. This also works if you have activated the Watermark Hand from the recipe.
  
  Personally I don't think it is a bug. I can't see how it could be implemented much more simply than it is especially for those users who are full time processing and fully conversant with every tool in particular the keyboard short cuts.
  
  I'm not so expert but I have come to know 98% of the stuff I am likely to use and the other 2% may take me a second or so to recall what to do or work it out. Things get easier with familiarisation.
  
  HTH.
