watermark + advanced photo selling features

[NORRITT]

Hello,

what about an automatic watermark added to the pictures? ImageMagic can do so I think.

Or what about more advanced photo selling options:
- thumbnails do not get any watermark
- 640x480 (or whatever) images have a centered watermark (predefined jpg) with a
- click here to buy link. after paypal authification and payment user gets full quality picture without watermark. automaticated. Admin just sees in admin panel who has recently bought what picture. the customer has to tell for what reason he is buying.

maybe even more advanced: different pricing for different use and quality... just my thoughts... :)

That all is already there in EE 1.5.

EE commerce functions and special needs have to be customized by templates.

pekka, thank you a lot for that very quick reply. I am still waiting for my webhost to install image magic (or does the script also work without it?) so I didn't see. sorry

EE works with ImageMagick, GD or Imagick PEAR, but Imagemagick is definitely the one you should get installed.

What you will also need is ftp module in PHP.
Exif module and iptc module are not required but very useful.

I will do so, thank you Pekka :)
