Dynamic watermark placement...?

This is my idea for user controled watermark placement, if this has been done please let me know when I can find the script.

- User uploads Photo
- Photo is displayed with a div layer on top of it
- Layer on top of the photo has the sites watermark on it in which the user can click and drag the watermark to anywhere on top of the photo. There would be an (x,y) axis meter on the bottom giving the position as the user moves the watermark around.
- there would also be another feature on a Slider to allow the user to make the watermark transparent.
- User hits save and all changes are saved.

I've always thought that would be a cool idea and it could be an easy plugin into any site and features like rotate, mirror and resizing could easily be added be the webmaster for coding found around the net.

Google "PHP + watermark"
That'll turn up some scripts. I don't know if any do exactly what you want. But, maybe...

If you're looking for cues on where to start, look into GD graphics library for PHP. This article might help too.

i've been all over google for about a week looking for something like that. I dont think anyone has thought of the idea of allowing users to place the watermark position themselve.
