Hello,

I have been trying to watermark my photos for quite some time. My first guess was of course that it's a temporary CVS version problem, but in the meantime I do have the feeling that it's rather a general error (maybe on my part).

Here's what's happening:
- I created a transparent, small gif image and uploaded it to /watermark
- the image appears in the watermark menu
- when I click on preview:

Quote:
args = -yoff=0 -xoff=676 -alpha=/tmp/netpbm_g7uWye /tmp/netpbm_oJ43kc

Edit Watermark

No preview

- when clicking on submit, the page reloads, but the image doesn't get watermarked.

If I understand that message correctly (and from what I have read in other postings on the forum), this is not exactly an error. Others have suggested to make sure that the file is not bigger that the orginal image (ok) and that it's really transparent (ok).

I am a little bit lost, what to do in order to track down the problem.

Thanks

it was apparently a problem with my (two years old) version of Netpbm; uploaded the new one and it works.

i still get this error:

Quote:
args = -yoff=0 -xoff=0 -alpha=/tmp/netpbm_1dTEQg /tmp/netpbm_3Dwofk

i've just upgraded the netbpm files that are at the bottom of the sourcforge gallery page.. and it's still doing the same thing? any ideas?
i'm currently on gallery verion 1.4.4. i'm going to try upgrading to the new one..
