scaled Watermarking

sskoutas

Is there a way to set the watermark to automatically appear in the lower right corner of an image as a certain percentage of the image size, regardless of the display size or landscape/portrait orientation?

Ideally, I would like a PNG "S.T. Skoutas © 2009" to show up in the lower right, approximately 20% of the size of the lower edge, and perhaps offset X pixels from the right edge and Y pixels from the bottom edge.

Possible? Thanks for considering.

Could you post a link to a gallery on where you've applied your watermark too so that we can take a look?
The custom watermark you have at this point is set to 'bottom right' as the position. So how does it look?

dumb, dumb, dumb! I had a HUGE PNG file uploaded and set as a watermark, and I'm sitting here wondering why it spanned the entire image. I made a smaller one... it looks much better, but I still have a little tweaking to do. So sorry for the waste of bandwidth.

Not a waste of bandwith... I use iWatermark on my mac for watermarking, and it allows adjusting the size and offset from the desired position. I always thought it would be nice if in addition to the opacity slider, Smugmug had a slider for size and offset.

Hi, what I do is create a watermark about 3000 pixels wide, with the watermark itself taking up the right hand half, the rest being transparent. Smugmug scales the whole watermark down to the image width, so if my image is 3000 pixels or less the watermark always takes up 50%.
