Its been quite sometime since I blogged,with my semester finals going on its been a crazy month.It will be crazy for the next few days too. During this time my progress with the project has been quite slow,but I'm caught up within the system where we have exams in our exams are in the Summer(lol).I have to fight it out ;-)

However in the past few weeks, I have been able to work in bits and pieces and the Joomla! Watermarking system is almost complete. Here is an overview of it :

The Watermarking system:

• The Watermark image must be uploaded into the Images folder.(Via Media Manager or ftp)
• This image must be a .png image.
• The system has been integrated such that the user can select the image to be Watermarked in the Thumbnail View of the Media Manager in the checkbox and then click on the Watermark button(Exactly the same procedure used to delete a file)
• The image will be Watermarked and overwritten.
• A default ratio has been set(w.r.t to watermark and image)
• The Watermark image will be made Transparent.

Allowing the user to negotiate the watermarking options i.e

Let user specify:

• Transparency
• Ratio of the Watermark
• Location 
• Specify output file format

and a few more are viable options.

BUT,personally I feel that packing all of this into the MM makes things very complicated(for the user).I feel that a general,simpler system would do better.So that is exactly what I have incorporated so far.

However I would like to know what people would want,so kindly let me know through comments here please.

Ugh !! My exams !!

Until next time ;)
