Hi,

I'm trying to apply aa image as watermark on an image alias like this :

[ImageMagick]
Filters[]=watermark=-composite -gravity center extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/images/watermark.png

[lightbox]
Reference=
Filters[]
Filters[]=geometry/scaleheight=600
Filters[]=watermark=

But the generated image is only image design for the watermark. No composite of watermark.png and images.

Any hint ?

Hi Laurent,

Have you seen the following topic http://share.ez.no/forums/developer/imagemagick-watermark-filter-not-working. They were able to solve the watermark problem there.

Thanks Robin,

I'm turning around this topic for hours now without any correct result.
I tried almost everything -composite -watermark +swap ...
I can only see my watermark image or ...nothing.

:(

I had the same problem recently, many of my image filters stopped working. By trial and error I found out that I have to put the filename in front of -composite, e.g.

Filters[]=banner_watermark=design/plain_site/images/banner_mask.png -composite 

I still don't know if eZ has changed or the ImageMagick syntax had changed.

Thanks Reinhard,

It's also the solution for me (4.3.0).
I tried to apply more parameters e.g.

Filters[]=banner_watermark=design/plain_site/images/banner_mask.png -composite -gravity center

but in that case, only the "background" image is show.

Anyway, it's a big step forward ;)

This is due to this enhancement in 4.3.0:

I've posted a comment but I think it should be opened as a bug.

You can patch it by reverting lib/ezimage/classes/ezimageshellhandler.php to the 4.2.0 version.
