I've always wanted to add a watermark to images automatically when uploaded to the server for display on the page. Can you customize the watermark ? My only problem is I have to check if I can support IIS, which is faster IIS or PHP ?

Well, your server needs to be running IIS (Microsoft Internet Information Server) and then you just drop the .aspx and .aspx.vb or .aspx.js files into the appropriate locations on the server. I imagine that if your server does not run IIS then there may be alternative technologies such as PHP that can accomplish much the same thing, but I personally know nothing about such server-side technologies.

The only issue is the images hug the border of the browser, but that is a style issue ;-) How do you set this up using this Asp.Net code ? I like it better then image replacements as I don't notice the flicker when the image changes size.

Bear in mind that that Asp.Net code is being run on a bog-standard home PC, several years old, and uploaded on a slow ADSL link that can manage barely 448kb uploads. If you found it fast even bearing those facts in mind, think how fast it would be on a T1-connected real server.

It uses Asp.Net and is based on the code discussed here :

Why not scale on-the-fly ? Visit :

    http://photos.for-charity.org/

click on any album thumbnail, then any image thumbnail, and notice that the resulting URL is of the form :

http://photos.for-charity.org/Shew/?img=/Flowers/Flower%281%29.jpg&height=720

Replace the final "720" with any realistic value and you will be delivered a new image of exactly that height. The watermarking is added dynamically at the same time.
