Hi,

I would like to watermark all my images when they are presented with the view=imagelarge view. How do I accomplish this ?

You will need to use the <i>image</i>, <i>imagefile</i> and <i>texttoimage</i> template operators.
Basically you will need to layer the original (or scaled) image with a transparent text on top of it.

Here's an example from the new documentation, you will need to get the path to the image and pass it to the <i>imagefile</i> operator.

{image( "It's A Kind Of Magic",
        imagefile( 'design/example/images/test1.png' ),
        array( "It's A Kind Of Magic"|texttoimage( 'smartie' ),
               hash( 'transparency', 0.64,
                     'halign',       'right',
                     'valign',       'top' ) ) )}

This example will generate an image with 64% transparent text using the "smartie" style. The text will be aligned to the upper right corner of the "example1.png" image. The alternative image text will be "It's A Kind Of Magic" - which is the same as the merged in transparent text.
