Gallery has the ability watermark images or entire albums of images. This
3
is done by overlaying an image on top of another image.

</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
7
NetPBM does not support steganography like ImageMagick. Therefore,
8
only visible image watermarking is supported.
9
</p></li><li><div class="warning" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Warning</h3><p>
10
Gallery does not store the original image.
11
When an image is watermarked, it is permanent, and can not be undone.
12
It is assumed that the user will archive any images that they want
14
</p></div></li><li><p>
15
Only .gif, .tif, and .png are supported watermark file types. These
16
formats support either a transparent color (gif) or an alpha channel
19
The size of the watermark, in pixels, is the same for the full size
20
and resized images. In proportion to the entire image, the full
21
size image's watermark is smaller. This <span class="emphasis"><em>could</em></span>
22
be a problem when printing the images.

25
To use watermarking...
26
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
27
Enable watermarking by entering a watermark directory in the
28
Configuration Wizard under the "Locations and URLs" tab--fill out a
29
directory containing the images you want to use as watermarks.
30
Use the full system path. When logged in as admin, you will now see
31
[watermark�album] as an option in each album. If you that option, you
32
will be presented with a page showing you the possible watermarking options.
34
Note that all files located in the watermark directory you defined
35
earlier will now be available in the dropdown below the image.
36
All you need to do to add a new watermark picture is to add it to the
37
watermark directory, re-open the watermarking page and select it in the dropdown.
38
The preview button enables you to preview the watermark before applying it, helping
39
you visualize how it's going to look.
