I have specific looking mats for all my images, like such:

My big problem with watermark is that I cannot specify the watermark to start from a specific location like at location x,y of 100, 100 but only at North, NorthEast, East, etc.

Is there any way around this?

You can probably code Your way around it. The Imagemagick does support absolute positions.

The parameter currently used is this
composite -gravity NorthWest watermarks/tkj5.png UPLOAD/test/result.jpg UPLOAD/test/result.jpg

I think if the code is changed to this it would work
composite -geometry +100+150 watermarks/tkj5.png UPLOAD/test/result.jpg UPLOAD/test/result.jpg


I tried putting the parameter in the extracommand field but it didn't work - maybe I am just doing it wrong.

Pekka, how about putting that on the wish list so both options could be used?

I did what you suggested in anther forum, Thomas, using a larger framed transparent watermark. ;-) It worked. ;-)

Thanks, you are full of great ideas.

Just a note: of course code change like this will disable all resize method settings for watermark placement.

I tried putting the parameter in the extracommand field but it didn't work - maybe I am just doing it wrong.

Extracommand (or rather ImageMagick) does not accept parameters which are already defined in forms (i.e same command twice with different values).

Of course.

Is there any special way to activate watermarks? When I'm in Resize methods page I tried to use the watermarks but the are not appearing, I even tried the defaualt images?

the images are in /input/watermarks
I presume this is the correct location?
thanks
