I don&#8217;t suspect that however, and believe it to be the module&#8217;s handling of the file.  I followed the thread and modified the SQL values, which did allow me to modify the placement of the watermark and apply it to images.  Once I set the watermark to be the default for all uploaded images, I noticed that any new images I added were now showing up as broken photos, and I quickly became disinterested in worrying about fixing someone else&#8217;s software.  <\/p>\n<p>To work around the issue I used a .GIF with transparency instead.  I am losing some of the nicer features I had with the PNG, like the drop shadow and embossing.  I am however gaining the ability to move along with the project.  I am not entirely sure why I am redoing the watermarking process, and moving away from Irfanview, but I suspect it has a lot to do with knowing that if I don&#8217;t do it now, it is only going to become one more thing I want to do later.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I spent close to an hour this morning trying to understand the watermarking features of the Gallery2 module, but ended up finding a bug in the modules ability to process .PNG images.\u00a0 I also found the related thread on their forums: http:\/\/gallery.menalto.com\/node\/84808.
