Issue Summary
Is there a guide on how to use the water mark mod? Can someone write it for 6x, or link a guide to creating an alpha channel picture, I think that might be the problem

I made a forum post with all of the specifics here: http://drupal.org/node/303709
Copied here:
I can get the images to watermark themselves if I upload the picture first, THEN go to the picture, edit, and apply watermark.
I cannot get drupal to automatically watermark my uploads during upload.
I have checked the website AND browser cache, reset both and checked again, no difference.
My settings:
I am using GD2 in my image toolkit.
My image watermark settings are in this JPG: http://stfuplease.com/watersettings.jpg (image is optimized for web)
My actual watermark (copied from its home dir to root) http://stfuplease.com/water2.png
My folder permissions are:
/sites/default/files is 777
/sites/default/files/images is 777
/sites/default/files/images/temp is 777
Drupal 6.4

where did you download the 6.x-1.x-dev version from?
#3
from the drupal site
#4
Has anyone gotten this module to work against D5?
#5
doesn't work for me neither.
i install watermark in two sites,enable it,upload a PNG file,config the module.
then add an image node.but nothing happens.no errors,no watermark,just like it never exists.
site1:drupal 6.4 watermark 6.x-1.x-dev Image 6.x-1.0-alpha3,PHP Version 4.3.10-19,GD2
site2:drupal 6.3 watermark 6.x-1.x-dev Image 6.x-1.0-alpha2,PHP Version 5.2.0-8+etch10,GD2
but i got it work a couples of months ago(site 1 ,drupal 5).

Does everyone agrees with marcolam? Can we conclude that this is an issue with version 6.x only, and that 5.x works?
#7
I didn't get it to work with d5 either.

Today I setup a new site with only two additional modules installed:image and image-watermark,
This time I can see "Apply watermark" when adding a new image node,but encounter the same problem easyfroob had: I have to save the node first and goto edit to apply the watermark.
Site info : drupal 6.5 watermark 6.x-1.x-dev Image 6.x-1.0-alpha3,PHP Version 4.3.10-19,GD2

I tried the same thing with D5.11 - doesn't work, even when I go back to "edit" and apply the watermark.
BTW - when I go back to edit, it shows "watermark" unchecked even though it was checked when I created the image. I check it, save, and go to the image. No watermark. Go back to edit, and "watermark" is unchecked.

Depending on some negotiation we are doing with a potential sponsor, we plan to rewrite portions of this module and make the watermarking more robust, so hopefully this problem may be solved in 2 weeks or so.
If this plan goes through, the fix will happen in a new 5.x version then ported to Drupal 6.x after that.

ohh goody - any updates on that? D6?
Thanks

I'm having an issue with watermark as well. It is as though it doesn't exist. I can get the imagecache actions module to watermark an image,but it doesn't automatically watermark batch uploads. Will this module watermark uploads automatically? It doesn't seem to work at all. I have tried it on Drupal 6.6. 6.7 and 6.8
