watermarking issues...

Why is watermark on medium images so small? Smaller than how it shows on the larger image.

Take a look:

Doesn't look kosher to me...


thanks!

Looks to me like its pretty darn equal depending on your small medium size and the large pic undisturbed size. The ratio is based off the original image dimensions since trying to base the scale off the medium would make it totally out of whack.

I increased the size of mediums but it still looks blurry... it should apply the watermark regardless of the size of the picture. No?

actually No

Think of it this way. Say you have a watermark that is 300 x 100

Then you have mediums set to 400 then the watermark would be if set in proportion to the medium which would result in a very large overlay on that picture hense the proportion for the watermark is set from the original.

This is the correct way to do it that I see everywhere. Watermarks sometimes need to be placed with to get the best size for the pictures your using.

The issue I see here is your pictures are very large and your watermark very small so the best thing to do in your case if your pictures are large is to go with a larger watermark

Remember you cant upscale a picture without getting blurry so try a larger watermark and see what happens.
