So, I can use a 100% black transparent .png file for my watermarks (even though I can’t get it to fill the image fully, and I can’t change the colour of the built-in watermark feature – only white. Not much good if you shoot against white.
I have changed the opacity in Photoshop to say 50% (as I don’t want full black), but this fails to show at all on images as a transparent png.
I have changed the colour but kept the opacity to 100% and nothing happens (again as a transparent png).
Am I missing something here that is vital to the photography system of watermarking?
Regards
Additional testing: The watermarking works on small file sizes, but my files are 3500px by 2500px at a minimum.
Hi,
What type of server is your site hosted on? Is it a cheap shared plan?
If so you may find you will struggle with processing power and resources when it comes to photos because watermarking of large photos and general photo manipulation such as resizing and copying needs enough server resources to cope.
What is the PHP MEMORY_LIMIT setting of your system? This should be at least 256.
Have you checked your server’s log file to see if there are any errors pertaining to memory being exhausted?
When you are watermarking you say that your files are roughly 2500-3500px in size. What is the size of your watermark image?
