It IS pointless...You can download the image file (an animated gif) and see the last frame only... Smile | :)

I don't have any tools for that: Corel Paintshop doesn't like animated GIFs, and Corel VideoStudio locked up solid when I dropped the GIF on it! Laugh | :laugh:

What did you use?

Damn. I don't get on with GIMP - it just feels too clumsy.

Fortunately, I don't need to open GIFs and look at the last image often... Laugh | :laugh:

GIMP can be feel different (not sure about clumsy) if you are used to Corel or Adobe...But for the last 4-5 years I do all my graphics with GIMP and found it very great...

Nibbles! It's a hell of a long time since I've seen it. That is insane, I could never get past more than a few turns. Not the original QBasic version, I don't think it had arrows.

Are there any amateur (or professional) photographers out there who can recommend a good and simple program that can add copyright watermarks to a batch of photos? Preferably freeware of course...

TIA!

IrfanView can do that. But it requires some steps:
File - Batch Conversion/Rename - Enable Use Advanced Options - Advanced

There you can add a watermark image or an overlay text.

No, seriously! You can watermark images at runtime[^]

I did something similar a few years back for image resizing. The one thing you have to watch out for is regenerating the same images for every request.

I ended up dynamically creating a cache folder and saving the image there for the first request, then after that just return the cached image.

How do you know so much about swallows? Well, you have to know these things when you're a king, you know.
