permant watermark

[Street-Stylers]

I just set up water marking and it works if you browse within the gallery but if u view the image direct its not watermarked??

How can i fix this?

[Chuck S]

It you are setting up permanent watermarking it is not going to watermark previous images. You can do that in Admin => Scan Database => Watermark Images

Now take note in Admin => Edit Categories you can setup who can get there images watermarked or not.

OK so i have lots of photos that are not presently watermarked...

What do i need to do in order to ensure that 1st All future uploads are permantly watermarked and also how can i make all the present pictures permantly watermarked?

Ive been searching the gallery admin panel but cant find out where u set it to

[Chuck S]

You set after turning watermarking on in edit categories for each category you set whom can or can not get their images watermarked.

You can then have new images watermarked. As stated above to watermark unwatermarked previous images in Admin => Scan Database => Check here to watermark unwatermarked files. That will scan and watermark photos not already watermarked

alright got it working for new uploads but it doenst watermark unwatermarked files

I do exactly what u say any suggestions?

[Chuck S]

what does the watermarked field in your database say? Use phpmyadmin

SELECT watermarked FROM pp_photos

You can run that query and tell me the results. You should have just no or yes in the results

[Street-Stylers]

It returns all records as 1

Im assuming i can run an update sql

Update pp_photos set watermarked='no'

?

THen run the database tool in the admin panel ?

[Street-Stylers]

actually i thought id try it and it works :

Thanks Chuck for pointing me in the right direction, i suppose it didnt update any photos cause in the db it said they had already been watermarked

Does that feature also still watermark all thumbnails like in older versions of PP? Happened to me a couple of times and didn't really like it.

[Chuck S]

It never watermarks thumbnails

You only have watermarked thumbnails if you use permanent watermarking and rebuild all thumbnails since obviously the large image is watermarked your thumbnail will be

Okay, I see, thnks.

What exactly is the difference between permanent watermarking and Enable on-the-fly image protection? With Enable on-the-fly image protection, if a user saves a photo to his hd, will it have the watermark on it?

Is the watermark only being added if using overlay is set to yes?

[Chuck S]

overlay means your displaying a watermark over the image not destroying it.

If I user downloads the file if you let that I think he is actually downloading the watermark
