watermarking

[eMEraLdwPn]

i was using this script i found from sitepoint to watermark images: http://www.sitepoint.com/article/watermark-images-php

i managed to get it to work, but the watermark i used, even though it had a transparent background, ended up writing over the image with a white background...

the images i used are
http://www.drunk-as-hell.com/images/watermark.png
http://www.drunk-as-hell.com/files/1.jpg
and the result was
http://www.drunk-as-hell.com/temp/1.jpg

does anyone have any suggestions? thanks...

I would say double check the original png and be sure. I've had trouble with transparency and png's before.

I don't think that jpegs support transparency. Unless your script is somehow merging the pixels for you I think you'll have to use a program like photoshop to drop the transparent image on top of your photo and then export the image as a jpeg.

yeah, i did test it out to make sure i didn't screw it up somehow, and the image is transparent... hmm.. i would think there would be some way to keep the transparency though without doing it by hand...

jpeg does not support transparency but png and gif do.
