Magento

How you guys set your watermark options?

I have a 500x500 px images with 500x50 px watermark. If I place it direcly using Magento watermark fuction, the watermark will be strecthed and look weird.

I tried to recreate my watermark with 500x500 px by putting a transparency border around my original watermark then let Magento place it. This will result in bad image quality (foggy). I think magento watermark opacity function is the cause that cancle my watermark transparency.

Any idea how to leave my 500x50 px watermark in the center without strecting it?
Or just leave my 500x500 px transparency watermark without changing its opacity?

I know I need to change some code in gd2.php to achive my goal but I don’t know what to do with it. Somebody please guide me please.

Although not a total fix, it’s a half solution which could help in the short term:

Also if you wish to mess with the code then you might want to read some of the user contributed notes over at PHP.net:

Any updates to this? Tiling the watermark isn’t what I want to do, hopefully someone has a fix for centering it.
