Is there a way to insert a watermark on an image as it is being uploaded to the image file, then removed when it is called from a database to be viewed on a website? The rational behind this is I have a photographers site I am doing, and I am limiting the size of the images somewhat to reduce pilferage and I would like to be able to show the images a little larger, hence with a bit more clarity and detail.

Thanks for your input.

Gary: When the user see's an image in their browser they *have* downloaded it. You cannot show them an image without a watermark and then somehow prohibit them from downloading the image. When you show it, you've lost control. My advice, show them an image with a watermark and only allow them to see an image without the watermark when you want them to see it -- in other words, protect the image.
