2 problems I need to fix

Hi! First of all thanks for this beatiful software. Very useful and easy to use. I am making a tourism website and I will have to upload a lot of pictures. I need to put watermark on them. I tried this in UBuntu 8.10 but have 2 problems:

1) I want to put my watermark on the right bottom. I have pictures of different hight and width but I want all watermark in the same place (right bottom). In fact, what I want is % :) So, I set it as method. I put 70% for example. But it is not working as expected. Watermark is put sometimes upper and sometimes down.

See

Any idea how can I fix this ?

2) My watermark is transparent and it is png. When the waterwark is put in the image, I can see the background of the transparency with the little black and white squares :(
However I did choose "png" as image.

Thanks a lot for the help.

1)

             {'fields': {'Horizontal Justification': u'Right',
                         'Horizontal Offset': u'99.8 %',
                         'Mark': u'/home/crapodino/pictures/logo/your_logo.png',
                         'Method': u'By Offset',
                         'Opacity': u'100',
                         'Orientation': u'Normal',
                         'Vertical Justification': u'Bottom',
                         'Vertical Offset': u'99.8 %',
                         '__enabled__': 'yes'},
              'label': 'Watermark'},

2) Not sure what you mean.

Wow!!! what a quick answer! Unfortunately now I am at work and don't have access to phatch but tonight I test it and let you know if it works!

However, I don't remember to see fields like Vertical Justification or Orientation. Are they in a newer version ? I couldn't download .deb (I am in Ubuntu) because the file was not found, thus I did sudo apt-get install phatch. Perhaps there is an older version in the repository ?

Regarding the 2) question, forget it. I won't put transparent in my logo.

Thanks

Mariano

I use the latest bazaar build:
https://launchpad.net/phatch/

To install it on my Gentoo system, I did this:
mkdir ~/.phatch_bzr
cd ~/.phatch_bzr
bzr branch lp:phatch
python setup.py build
sudo python setup.py install

DrSlony_ Thanks!!! It worked like a charm. The problem is that I had an old version. I downloaded the latest as you told me, I what you told me in your first post and worked perfect.

Thanks a lot. This is an excellent product.

Best,

Mariano
