ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hello, I'm having a hard time to get the watermarking looking good. Any suggestion on setting the GIF file ? And what watermark transparency to use? So far all my tests are bad. I keep getting my letters (name of the website) surrounded by rectangle that make a big contrast with the picture.

NemoPS Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Try using a png instead of a gif (24 PNG not 8bit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I thought that PNG where not allowed??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I haven't tested it, but you can give it a try. Just be sure you enable png in imges preferences Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Thank you Nemo for your help, but It does not seem to work. Maybe I should try another graphic program. I use Macromedia Fireworks. ;: very old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 I believe you can create some nice pngs with GIMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 I just tried GIMP. And still the same results, when I put a clear/transparent background or a white background, I still have the ribbon behind my watermark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 On the image preferences... : I'm using the "use PNG only if the base image is in PNG format" Should I switch to " Use JPEG" only option ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NemoPS Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 That will kill transparency if the module is based on the core imagin system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezb Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 After reading other's posts related to watermarking... there seem to be no solution, but watermarking your pics yourself with a photo/design program. I use ACDsee do you have other suggestions that might be faster??). Using a photo program will give you more flexibilty, but it would be great if a watermark module would really work as we wanted, that would save me lots of time.. I browsed the Prestashop add-on and there is only one paying watermarking module, which is really surprising. Thank you for all your help. it is being great to read and supported by you guys.
