2. Open "MATLAB" program.
3. Change Workspace/Current folder to where you save the downloaded file above.
4. Right-click to the ~.mlappinstall file to install.
5. On top of the MATLAB menu, change to tab "Apps" and choose the program you've just installed.  

For non-MATLAB user

1. Download "WatermarkWHT" lastest version.
2. Open the install file to install the program.
3. Follow the instruction in the setup file.
4. When done, open the program and begin to use.

How to use

The program have GUI so it's very easy to use, if you still not know how to use, so go to the tab "About" in the program you've opened and read the guide. Beside, there are videos below the guide to help you (but require internet). - BacDau
