I would like to have a feature where I can have my transparent logo automaticly added to all of the product images I upload to protect copyright. I see many people download product pictures from my website, so that I can increase the traffic. It take too much time to use an image editor for the each product image.
 
Is this possible?
 
I know a website which does it exactly like this, so if you need a code like this, I will try to help you.
 
Thanks

I recommend Watermark Factory - very easy - simple batch mode

Christopher,
It will for sure help me but having this integrated in viart will be very valuable in my opinion.

If you look at http://www.sitepoint.com/article/watermark-images-php
a method of doing this "on the fly" is suggested.
 
Im in the process of trying this on some images on one of my sites but it looks like a very promising method providing you have GD Graphics Library on your server and it also doesnt need any modification to ViArt
 
As you probably know you can find out if GD (amongst other add-ons like Zend) is available on your server by uploading the following as say phpinfo.php to your site and then browsing to www.yoursite.blah/phpinfo.php
 
<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Ned,
Thanks for your reply.
 
I have:
 
GD Support enabled
GD Version bundled (2.0.28 compatible)
FreeType Support enabled
FreeType Linkage with freetype
GIF Read Support enabled
GIF Create Support enabled
JPG Support enabled
PNG Support enabled
WBMP Support enabled
XBM Support enabled
 
 
But I could not find out how to use the script.
Can you please give more details.
Thanks

The route Im taking is to:
 
Create a gallery of images plus a watermark png image.
Use an index.html file to present the images.
Include the cut and pasted watermark script within the index file.
Adapt the watermark script to point to the watermark image.
Make a custom watermark block in ViArt to call the index page file from within the block.
Create a new article page and call the watermark block within it.
 
I hope to see if it works in the next few days.
