Permanant watermark with undo possibility (GD2+IM working!) + better admin tools

[coolbreeze]

This is one of the best mods I have ever used. Even the ability to update all images with teh watermark worked flawlessly.


Thank you!!!

Cool

It's a good idea to read the thread you post in as most of your questions may have benn asked by other users before. Your questions are covered on the last page. If these users would have read the previous page, too, they most probably may have found the answer there as well.

Hi,

I love the mod, but i have one big problem, it destroys the Exif data, and i really want that data to be present in the image info.
Is there any way to save the Exif data from destruction?

No, as the image libraries used by coppermine (GD or ImageMagick) both are not capable to preserve/write exif information. You'll have to live with this. Your best option is to watermark locally (on your client) before uploading the pics to your gallery in the first place.

[DJ-Marcuzz]

Ok, this is like an big bummer!
Could you recommend me any tools for watermarking and resizing locally?
We will have to live with this problem, but we have to resize about 600 pictures per shoot to 1024, watermark them, resize the original to 640, watermark them, and resize the original to 100 and upload the tree.

I have posted in several threads already my recommendation for local watermarking:

• Locking Photographs
• Watermark
• looking for watermark tool to watermark
• How do you resize your pictures?

As not all watermarking utilities preserve exif information, you could use the tool Tools recommended by the devs -> Exifer for Windows to back up your exif information before applying the watermark and then restoring the lost exif data afterwards.
Not related to this thread - please do not clutter this thread further with your questions on local watermarking. If you need to discuss this in detail, use the thread How do you resize your pictures?.

After updating my 1.4.16 with 1.4.18 which file (picmgmt.inc.php) will be compatible? The version of picmgmt.inc.php I got is 1.4.6. Is it ok if I over right my picmgmt.inc.php 1.4.18?

[Stramm]

Read this thread, especially the last two pages

Thanks for the great mod! It works perfectly.

One question, you say it comes with undo possibility. How do I get back the original (unwatermarked) images?

[Stramm]

It's in the first post of this thread

To undo watermarks just disable watermarking in config and run the admin tools.

admin.php > replace the entire function update_thumbs() with the one u provide

coz i don't know where to end in the original admin.php...

sorry, pls delete my 1st post... it's all wrong..

[Stramm]

It ends right before the next function declaration (function del_orig()). Also the indentation should be able to help you.
