Hello all,
I have been using Coppermine for only a week for now and still not very familiar with some features, so enlighten me on this one.
Is there a way to put a text (some sort of watermark) on each picture, processed by the script? Let's say I have a photos that are copyrighted and want to put that "(C) by ME" text on each photo. Doing it in photo processing software is just sort of redundant... I know it can be done by two lines of code, at least for GD2...
If there is no such thing - move this post to feature requests please ;)
tip: search the old board ;)

well, actually it isn't just two lines of code ;)
You'll get better quality pics and less issues with server load if you add a watermark on the client, not on the server.
There is free software available that can batch-add watermarks (pics and/or text with transparency) on your client - this is the way to go!

Here (http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/20250.html)'s a good free script, and this (http://www.hotscripts.com/Detailed/20111.html) also might be of interest...
well, those are scripts that do stuff on the server. Let me give you some client software tips:
