Is it possible to add watermarks so that they don't appear on top of the actual image, but along side?

<code>
--------------------
|xxxxxxxxxxxxx|
|xxximagexxxxx|
|xxxxxxxxxxxxx|
--------------------
|xxwatermarkx|
--------------------
</code>

I'd like to watermark images so that when people hotlink to them in forums it becomes an ad for my site, but the photos are contributed by members so I don't want to put my logo on top of their pictures. The watermark could say something like "See more at www.TheBeachcats.com" on a white background below the picture.

So the canvas size of the image would need to be increased in the direction of the watermark.

we don't currently have any toolkit operation to increase the canvas size of an image.. anyone know the imagemagick or netpbm commands/params to do this?

note in beta-3 you can turn on watermark of hotlinked images.. visit both url rewrite and watermark site admin to activate this.

Is there a way to disabled the hotlinked selection? Was working with htis to see its behavior but didn't find a way to un-hotlink a selection. Ended up deleting the watermarks which removed the hotlink selection.

Is there another way to un-hotlink?
