Make sure you have the following references in BIN
Atalasoft.dotImage.dll
Atalasoft.dotImage.Lib.dll
Atalasoft.dotImage.Webcontrols.dll
Atalasoft.shared.dll
Use the following NameSpaces
Imports Atalasoft.Imaging
Imports Atalasoft.Imaging.WebControls
Imports Atalasoft.Imaging.ImageProcessing
Imports Atalasoft.Imaging.Codec
Imports Atalasoft.Imaging.Codec.Tiff
Avoid using Workspace object for simple tasks. As workspace occupies more memory (according to Atalasoft unofficial sources) and most of the operations can be done using AtalaImage object.
Annotate ONE PAGE TIFF Document
Dim tiffImage As AtalaImage
Dim watermarkimage As AtalaImage = New AtalaImage(Server.MapPath(“.”) & “watermark.jpg”)Dim overlay As OverlayCommand
Dim newAnnoatedFileName as String

newAnnoatedFileName = Server.MapPath(“.”) & ”\Sample-Annoated.tif”
‘Image Overlay
overlay = New OverlayCommand(watermarkimage, New Point(350, 550), 0)
overlay.Apply(tiffImage)
‘False in TiffEncoder means dont append (as the file is created for the first time there is nothing to append to.)
