GD Watermark Question

From: "Gary" on 17 Sep 2010 18:03 Is there a way to insert a watermark on an image as it is being uploaded to the image file, then removed when it is called from a database to be viewed on a website? The rational behind this is I have a photographers site I am doing, and I am limiting the size of the images somewhat to reduce pilferage and I would like to be able to show the images a little larger, hence with a bit more clarity and detail. Thanks for your input.

From: "Gary" on 17 Sep 2010 20:16 Thank you both for your input, my assumption was when an image file is gathered from a web page, through whatever method, the image was going to be served up from the server, thus if the image file on the server had the watermark, then so would the image that is being captured. Thanks again for your help.

Simply upload the image file normally and store it in the file system OR the database. When you want to show the image as a thumbnail, then show it. Here's the code: http://webbytedd.com/b/thumb/ If you want to show it with a watermark, then show that. Again, here's the code: http://webbytedd.com/b/watermark/ If you want to show the image as a thumbnail with a watermark, then combine the two routines. I'll leave that to you.

Just generate it once and serve the thumbnail as a file (there's no reason why you would need to invoke php to show a thumbnail of an image).
