I've just enabled the watermark overlay feature on a pre-existing 5.3 site with ImageMagick (if that's relevant) and having trouble positioning my overlay watermark.

Is there a trick to getting the overlay watermark to the correct position as I've defined in "Watermark Options"?

I'm trying to get it to show on the upper right corner of each image, so I'm assuming that correlates to "NorthEast"? I set it to that postion initially and saved, but it puts the watermark in the lower right corner. So I tried some of the other positions, but no matter which one I choose, it continually places the watermark overlay in the lower right corner.

I should add that I have both the "Enable on-the-fly image protection" and "When using on-the-fly image generation, do you want to overlay the watermark image?" options set to "Yes" - plus all the options in the "Image Protection System Options" section set to "Yes" also - so it's not permanently changing each image, so being able to position the watermark where and whenever I want, shouldn't be a problem. At least that's my understanding of it!

So, is there some other file or admin setting that I need to adjust?

Thanks.

EDIT:
Been messing around with this now...seems I wasn't understanding how it works - but do correct me if I'm wrong

So I don't want to permanently watermark my images - just an overlay - am I not able to position the watermark image in that case? From my testing, I can't seem to find an option to do that, except when permamently watermarking. Am I wrong? I hope so
