watermark in imagemagick?

[Zeitgeist]

Is there a way I can do a watermark on my images when they are created for the gallery, rather then using a cpu heavy mod? I haven't tried the one in mods for imagemagick because i'm not sure if it even works with the current ver

If you're afraid of the performance impact on-the-fly watermarking has to your server's load, watermark your pics before uploading them, while they're still on your client. There are a lot of free apps that will let you watermark in no time (batch-add a watermark to several pics at once); I recommend http://www.picture-shark.com/

thanks for the quick reply.

Can imagemagick do it threw the command lines specified in coppermine or must i install a mod? the one in the mods forum might not work for 1.3 I have not tried it yet.

okay from http://www.cit.gu.edu.au/~anthony/graphics/imagick/annotating/ it appears i can use command line options for this, so why even need a mod to the coppermine code itself?

problem is, is there an easy way to rebuild all images?

well, if you can come up with command line attributes that will give you watermarking, go ahead and put them in.
