| Actually, I just posted about Persits.Jpeg over in this thread a few minutes ago. Let me see if I can find it for you. Getting ready to leave for work, so don't know whether I'll locate it tonight. It's free, though, and works pretty well. It is a bit basic, but if that's what you're looking for, it works. I've used it and like it. |

| Sorry, I lied. It looks like my host may have just already had it. There was no charge for me, so I was thinking it was free. I found it here for $195. |

You can do some jazzy stuff in .Net Most of what I have done I've pulled from this site anyway, in the .Net forum.
Or, grab something like Irfanview (free) and do it locally, or something like Coppermine and watermark it automatically on upload.
FYI, I use Coppermine now because I was trying to write gallery software that basically had the same featureset and they had it already working - why re-invent the wheel ?  |

OK here's the meat - ASP itself cannot watermark, but you can use ASP to access components like the Persits one (very good from experience) which can watermark on-the-fly for you. If you do not have to have on-the-fly watermarking, doing it in batches offline may be cheaper and easier.
If you have .NET, then it's a classic 'my first .net project' project |

thanks guys for the info :) I should have said in the beginning that I want this working online so when people upload their photo a watermark is added to the image after the thumbnail is created (just to clarify, I sorted out the thumbnail part)
Muzishun I had a look at that script but unfortunately I have no budget for it at the moment :(
Laser I had a look at Coppermine but If I'm not mistaken that's running php and at the moment we are not set up for that either :(
Pdrg if you've come across a script that does it would you post a link, as I'm new to all this it would be a lot safer using something you guys feel comfortable with. |

I've just finished coding that script Podge and it's working like a charm, cheers for that :)
Laser I had a read of your post re image security and I've come up with an idea. I couldn't post it in that thread as it's archived but here goes.
I'm planning to make a folder which will rename itself at midnight every day. The name will be a random number with text and will be stored as a variable on the site. Then Ill implement that var in the code in place of strImageUrl.
That way anyone that externally links to the image will only have the link available for 1 day.

| There's easier ways to do that, just block remote linking. I was trying to stop people stealing the images, at the time I didn't want to watermark them but there really is no other (good) option. |

| good point laser... forgot about that one :) btw which script did you use for watermarking with an image instead of text and did you find a speed difference between the two |

| I was playing with the image watermarking for a client, but couldn't get the quality to an acceptable level, and couldn't get any replies about improving it. I didn't see any noticable differences in speed though. |

| Would you share the code laser I wouln't mind having a go too. Perhaps it was an alpha channel or masking problem on the watermark image that was giving you the trouble. |

Normally not a worry, but I think I've either deleted the code, or it's not in the place I thought it was  If I do find it I'll post it to you though. |
