Some users asked me how to add a watermark into the Sobi2 Galery plugin RC2.4. A solution was proposed in the sobi2 forum . It work fine, but have some inconveniences:

• The watermark is just added for the display the original image dont contains any watermark and an advanced user can for easy get the images: the link on the images is http://www.site.com/watermark.php?path=http://www.site.com/com_sobi2/gallery/67/67_image_2.jpg then the user copy past the  http://www.site.com/com_sobi2/gallery/67/67_image_2.jpg and have the original image.
• The code use the  imagecreatefromjpeg php function need that your server allows the allow_url_fopen, and php > 4.3.

The goal is to add the watermark to the original images. I my solution, the watermark is added before the galery image creation and will be into the normal and preview image (watermark is redimensioned).
