The link for watermark images is superb

Nice, but one thing to keep in mind is that GD can use up a ton of memory.
If the page has a lot of these kinds of pictures, you're going to run low on resources really quickly (depending on the amount of traffic you have).

I learned this the hard way when creating a similar script for thumbnails on a classifieds website.

caching images is the solution ......

Well, what I was thinking is instead of loading the original image then watermarking it then displaying it, every time it loads, you'd be better off if you:

1. Check to see if an image is watermarked (filename?)
2a. If yes, then just display it.
2b. If no, load the image with GD
3. if 2b apply the watermark, save the file to a new spot, delete the original, then display it.

That way you're only applying the watermark once, not every single time the page loads for every single image.
