Applying Watermarks to MultiPhotos Galleries in Evolution CMS
If a generic watermark plugin fails with MultiPhotos, the safer route is often to watermark at generation time or through a dedicated thumbnail layer.
MultiPhotos galleries often need watermarks, but generic watermark plugins do not always integrate cleanly with gallery workflows. When a plugin breaks image output entirely, it is usually a sign that the gallery stack and the image-processing stack are not aligned.
Better options
- apply watermarks during thumbnail generation rather than on original uploads
- keep originals untouched and watermark only public display versions
- test the transformation chain on a small image set before enabling it site-wide
Why this approach is safer
Gallery plugins like MultiPhotos are already responsible for image storage and output. Watermarking works best when it becomes part of that image pipeline, not a blind afterthought added by a separate plugin that assumes a different file flow.
