Hey guys, I am a bit stuck and need your help.

I have the need to load images programmatically via script, and when the image is loaded, I need to watermark it __with another image__

Please do not send me links about adding text onto an image, i know how to do that already and that is not what I need.

I simply cannot find anything on how to take an image, and save another image on top of it... is it possible to use the Graphics class to open a 'canvas' and a second 'canvas' and overlay them on top of each other? I am at a loss :(

Any help you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

John

I was able to find out how to do this, and I shall share the code here with you guys! (Works only for JPEG/PNG as far as I can tell/tested)

Sub Page_Load
	
	'get original bitmap
	Dim original As System.Drawing.Image = New Bitmap(Server.MapPath("original.jpg"))
	Dim logo As New Bitmap(Server.MapPath("logo.png"))
		
	Dim gra As Graphics = Graphics.FromImage(original)
	gra.DrawImage(logo, New Point(0,70))
		
	'Set the content type
	Response.ContentType="image/jpeg"
		
	'send the thumbnail bitmap to the outputstream
	original.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.jpeg)
		
	'tidy up
	logo.Dispose()
	original.Dispose()
	
End Sub

According to your description, I think you need load image from .NET graphics in C#.NET.AND you can follow the step below to Load Image from .NET Graphics.
Run Microsoft Visual Studio (2005 or later version);
Create a project with programming language - Visual C#;
Add RasterEdge.DotNetImaging.dll to your Visual C# applications;
Call RasterEdge .NET Image Namespace:
